We had a sweet and flavorful day today. We had a special snack delivered to us for the first day of Apple and Pumpkin Day. Today’s special snack was our interpretation of an Apple Crisp. This snack consisted of crumbled Graham Crackers, apple sauce, sliced apples and whipped cream. I know, delicious! I’m sure the ‘ear-to-ear’ smiles will sum up the excitement our friends had when they saw the whipped cream gushing out of the can!
We also wanted to thank all the parents that brought pumpkins! They were finally able to paint them today! The kiddos were extremely excited to paint those pumpkins. The great part about this is that they will be able to take them home and display them over the break! We encourage all of our parents to take some time to ask them about their pumpkins. I promise you, those paintings were very intentional!
They also had some apple stamping! We cut apples in half and allowed them to use the halves as stamps to create art! That art will also be sent home for your appreciation soon!
There was one other activity we were supposed to do. We were supposed to have a station for pumpkin carving but to our surprise, EVERY seed inside had started to sprout! Insane! The inside was filled with roots, so our activity turned into a science experiment. We are now observing those seeds grow and we will see where this science experiment takes us! The kids are all forming their own predictions and hypotheses!
