Rainy Wednesday

Happy Fall Y'all!

We enjoyed being out this morning, but with the forecast and watching the rain fall again the windows, I'm pretty sure we will be enjoying our afternoon inside! We made eagles this morning, they turned out adorable! We also sponge painted leaves, which will need to dry so we will send them home tomorrow. We read the story, The Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves this morning as well as played a game with leaves.
We got out the blow up firehouse this morning when we were outside...

Breakfast: cinnamon rolls, grapes
Lunch: chicken alfredo, lettuce, banana, garlic bread
Snack: blueberry and chocolate chip muffins

Tuesday!

It's Tuesday today! We made eggs this morning with shaving cream & glue. Some of the kids used their hands to spread it out while others wanted a spoon. When we completed that project we made spiders to hang up for our October bulletin board. Some of them are pretty scary looking creatures! We sang our A-D letter songs for Grandma when she came out to read stories this morning.. I think we impressed her. She even got a kick out of Peyton singing right along!

Breakfast: banana bread, grapes

Lunch: lasagna, banana, grapes

Snack: chips & cheese

Monday, Sept. 20

Alexis' messy face! Not so sure she liked her carrots today!

The kids must have all had busy & exciting weekends as they were all tired today! 

We reviewed our letters A-D today and made a cute little scarecrow. The bigger kids worked on writing their name, while the little ones colored. We enjoyed playing outside this morning, even though the wind was chilly! If you hear any mention about the baby horse, Wanda finally put it in the pen with the other horses. The big horses are still picking on poor Annie (they nip at her back). The kids told the big horses, that they weren't going to get their treat today since they weren't being very nice! 

Breakfast: cereal, banana

Lunch: beef roast, mashed pototoes, corn, bread

Snack: graham crackers & frosting 

Jumping ! 

Friday

Gotta play catch up from Friday! The school kids had off on Friday, so they helped decorate the toy room for Halloween. I'm sure in a month, I will be ready for the decorations to be down! But they had fun and thought that they were doing something important and it also kept them busy figuring out the best spots to put everything.


I kinda chuckled to myself, the little kids and I were reviewing our letters by singing our songs and I almost think the big kids had just as much fun singing the letter songs as the little kids did. I had the big kids each pair up with a little one to help them do stick their dots on their paper...

Breakfast: donuts, grapes
Lunch: corn dogs, french fries, apples
Snack: yummy bars

It feels like fall today!

Burr... it's almost "cold" out there today! We learned the poem Mary Had a Little Lamb and made lambs today as well as worked on the pre-writing skills by tracing the path for the lambs to get to the schools. We also played play-dough which is always fun especially when we haven't done it lately...


Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: grilled cheese, peas, fruit cocktail
Snack: bread sticks, spaghetti sauce

Wednesday's Update!

Oops... Forgot to do yesterday's update! The school kids were home early from CPT so I guess that the whole afternoon was crazy! Since it rained all morning, we kept busy doing projects... Thanks to Brianna for bringing back letter D things!

We worked on those cutting skills... if your child didn't bring their dinosaur home, it's probably because there wasn't one left when they were done cutting!

Brianna's letter D things! 

 

We also worked on patterning with our new fall ones!

Garrett, JJ & Dawson worked hard on this ABC puzzle! 

The school girls wanted to dress Alexis up in doll clothes, so her she is in what they thought was fashion!

Breakfast: peanut butter toast, grapes
Lunch: tacos, pears
Snack: pretzels

Holmberg Orchard

We had a blast today at Holmberg Orchard. This must be one of my favorite field trips to take with the kids. Just being out at the orchard, just makes you love fall! We went on a long hayride (it was too muddy to go to the pumpkin patch) and saw their trees, counted the owls, and got to see the big cooler they store the apples in as well as see how they get washed. But, I'm going to guess that the kid's favorite thing to do was play in the corn boat and in the hay. Here are some pictures!

Breakfast: poptart, banana
Lunch: chili, crackers, grapes
Snack: apples

Fairy Houses...

Monday afternoon I had the kids start building fairy houses. First, we had to take a walk around the farm to come up with some materials.Here they are busily working away....

It's a Monday today!

Eeyore, oh Eeyore come out!

We sang Dr. Jean's Monday song today and it's stuck in my head!

When you're glad it's Monday, stomp your feet. 

When you're glad it's Monday, stomp your feet. 

Let's spell Monday. It's Marvelous Monday. 

M-O-N-D-A-Y.

We also worked on the letter D today and made a Dragon and enjoyed a donut for snack this morning! For some reason, the letter D song isn't as catchy as the other ones. 

The D Song:

("Do Lord")

I've got a great big tummy like a capital D. D!

I've got a great big tummy like a capital D. D!

D! /d/,/d/,/d/, /d/, D!

A circle, a big stick and that's a little D. D!

The weather is beautiful today! I was able to get the rest of the swing set  stained over the weekend and you would have thought that it was brand new... It's amazing when they haven't had a chance to play on/with something for a day or two how nice they can actually play! 

Breakfast: cereal, banana

Lunch: turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, stuffing

Snack: salami, cheese and crackers

REMINDER: We are going to Holmberg Orchard tomorrow morning. We will leave about 8:45 and return around 11. Please remember to leave your child's car seat. Thanks!
