The hot weather is starting to fade away and the changing leaves have been so much fun for us to see. This week we talked all about the change of season. The windy and rainy weather are part of the move into fall and we have enjoyed feeling and observing it. We read Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall and Leaves and have been looking for the other signs of fall outside. It is also time to bring in jackets for those chilly days. 

 

Next week we are continuing with our fall theme by delving deeper and talking about “harvesting.” This also builds with our healthy foods from a few weeks ago as we talk about picking our foods and caring for our gardens. We have a tomato plant on the Dogwood playground and a mint plant on the Cedar playground that we will be checking to see if anything is ready to be harvested.

 

Weekly song: Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow

Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow

Nor you, nor I, nor anyone knows

How oats, peas, beans, and barley grows.

First the farmer sows the seed

Then he stands and takes his ease

Stomps his foot

Claps his hands

And turns around to view the land

Tra la la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la

Tra la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

 

Have a good weekend,

 

Ms. Karina, Ms. Spenser, Ms. Jen, and Ms. Karen
