September School Happenings

Here is a glimpse of some of the things Jakob has done in school this past month:

• The children learned about nocturnal animals
• In art they cut our raccoon masks and decorated an owl with different types of feathers
• In dramatic play (set up as a forest schoolhouse), they used the rabbit ears and insects they created
• They "wrote" on chalk boards, and created "words" with magnetic letters
• At the water table, they washed food like the raccoons do
• They created their own story in circle time about pumpkins, a witch, and a princess
• At the science and water tables they learned the concept of warm and cold (they also charted which basin was warm or cold)
• On the playground, they practiced different walks
