First Week of Fall!

FIRST WEEK OF FALL!

The Ladybugs had a great first week of Fall! We painted apples, built apple trees, worked more on patterning and sorting and loved bike day! With the first week of October on Monday, we will transition into pumpkin exploration, color and shape recognition and more art. Thank you all for a wonderful September!

Ladybugs and Thunderbolt Mentors!
The Ladybugs had their first time with their mentors. They had a fabulous time measuring apple peels, discovering all the parts of the apple and getting to know the "big" kids! Here are a few pictures from the day. Enjoy!

The Art of Blowing Bubbles

It takes a lot of concentration . . .

The Talent Show was great,
the kids wore the shirts they dyed and performed a song

There is nothing more fun than bubbles.
Success!  A bubble in a bubble! 



Sometimes they just get away from you!

What can you tell me about bubbles?  We all know they are fun but what is the science behind them? Did you know they are composed of layers of soap, water and air?  If you dip your finger in bubble solution then you can poke your bubble without popping it.  Ask your student to tell you all about them.  Today the kids experimented with bubbles.  It was fun, messy, wet and scream inducing and I have the cleanest tables in the school.

The Science Lab

It's not at all a playground, it's a science lab!  The children helped pull shotweed, purple dead nettles, dandelions, and Californi...
