Sunshine room friends had a great day! We celebrated Elena’s 4th birthday with a yummy treat she brought to share. We painted and washed pumpkins, used playdoh to spell our names, water plants, built with Legos, played with baby dolls and in the kitchen, made pumpkin prints with apples, pine cones and corn and did a taste test of red vs green apples. Lots of friends today preferred the sour flavor of the green Granny Smith! Our friend Ruby also brought a special book from home to share with us and we also read “Ten Apples Up On Top!”

Sunshine friends had fun today investigating and tasting apples. We cut apples in 1/2 two different ways to show the star and seeds. We also measured ourselves with apples and painted pumpkin cutouts with apple halves and ornamental corn. We painted real pumpkins today to prepare them for washing tomorrow. We had run with chalk outside and building inside. We had art with Ms. Brina and we welcomed our new friend to our class. It was a super fun day!

Today in Sunshine room we had Willa’s Grandmother as our guest reader. We also went on a nature walk outside and everyone had their own clipboard to do a fall scavenger hunt. We also collected leaves and crated our own trees! Once back in the classroom we became scientists and looked at which of our fall items would sink or float and continued investigating with magnifying glasses. We also worked on tracing our names and creating a fun fall tree. There was also lots of fun with Legos and cars today.
