More Feast Needs

As I learn more and more about all of our feast preparations, I am realizing how much we need to make it work! Please feel free to send in any of the following items:

-Ziploc Freezer Bags, gallon size
-Dish soap, Dawn or Joy
-Disinfectant hand wipes (not Clorox wipes, ones made especially for hands)
-Styrofoam trays (from meat or produce)
-Small, natural-colored craft feathers (available at Michael's)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Our pumpkin activities this week were a lot of fun! On Thursday, we cut into a pumpkin, counted the seeds, roasted and ate them, then graphed whether the kids liked them or not. On Friday, the children went to five different pumpkin stations -- decorating mini-pumpkins, testing whether pumpkins will sink or float, measuring heights, weights, and circumferences of pumpkins, making pumpkin life cycle crowns, and creating a pumpkin patch with pumpkins in size order. Check out the pictures below:



The children also learned the song "Five Little Pumpkins" by Raffi. Together, we came up with motions to the song, then put it into our poetry notebooks with a matching illustration. Check out the kids singing along to the song:
