Science:  We touched and explored acorns & chestnuts.  We learned that acorns come from Oak trees and that they are both a food for squirrels and a seed to plant.  We also learned that some trees and plants stay green all winter such as Pine trees and Ivy.

Snacks:
  • Pretzel Sticks & Grapes
  • Pancakes & Fruit Snacks
  • Rice Krispy Treats & Strawberries





Happy Halloween!

We met Harry Hippo who showed us several things that begin with the letter "H" such as House, Hammer, Heart, Hug, Hippo, Horse, Hand....I demonstrated how to turn an "H" into a house and an "h" into a chimney with Heat coming out of it.  We practiced making "H's"
