Happy 2013!
Though a bit late, here are a few highlights from our fall & early winter.
In October, just as we did with apples, we explored all things pumpkin.
We picked pumpkins…
We pounded golf tees into pumpkins…(such concentration!)
We dissected pumpkins…
We cooked with pumpkins…
We savored the beauty of the changing leaves on our liquid amber trees. Two friends were inspired to make leaf bouquets. (The bike served as a nice method of transportation on this leaf hunt!)
In November we visited the local farmers’ market, where children went on a scavenger hunt and purchased vegetables for our Stone Soup Feast…
And in December we practiced our gift wrapping skills in the block room. Some friends even organized a tape dispensing/wrapping assembly line!
Thank you parents and kids for a great first half of the school year! Here’s to lots more fun in 2013!
