Falling leaves with the chilly breeze! Apples and pumpkins galore! These are the things that have been on our minds most this past week! The Nature Preschool has had so much fun experiencing early fall! We explored pumpkins and apples through hands-on cirlce time, art, math and science activities! Some of our favorite spots this week were the Woodland Garden, where we went on a number apple hunt, and the meadow, where we came together to play hide and seek! All the classes enjoyed apple taste testing! What is your favorite apple? Red, yellow or green? We are already dreaming up our perfect pumpkin to pick when we visit the farm next week!
Each class has different experiences that make their week unique. I heard the Chipmunks had a very special visitor! Check out all the fun we had below!
