Apple & Pumpkin Day

Oct 30: Apple Day

Today is Apple Day, which marks the first festivity and parent helper of the year. Our students witnessed the arduous task of making apple sauce, molded their own apples out of modeling clay, and ran freely outside in the warm autumn sunshine, among other things.

Ms. Kira kindly printed and set out some coloring sheets of cute apples.
Most students visited the writing center to color their own.
Modeling clay, the model is the apple.
They used beads and buttons to decorate them.

The kids helped chop, blend, and stir.

Overall, Apple Day was a success and the applesauce was a hit, albeit a tad cumbersome.

Oct 31: Pumpkin Day

The kids arrived at school excitable and ready for the day! Today’s agenda: pumpkin spice pancakes with Ms. Kira (spoiler: they were delicious), adorn miniature pumpkins with tissue paper using a paint brush and glue solution, and read some stories about spooky underwear and big green monsters.

See tissue covered pumpkins below.

A friend brought a book in today called: “Creepy Pair of Underwear” and “Room on the Broom,” and below you’ll see a parent reading it aloud to the kids. They were enthralled, not only by the book but his animation! Infliction and humor will get you very far with this bunch.

Pancakes! These were a hit, as they were sure to be! Groups of 6 got to assist Ms. Kira in making the batter and she whipped them up lickety-split! Our little chefs waited eagerly and got to have a pancake with some pumpkin butter and maple syrup. I didn’t get any pictures because I was eating them too. They were delightful: warm and cinnamon-ey, perfect for the season.

Happy Friday!

“I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.”
