Should we try it AGAIN?

~ I've triple checked the weather and think this might be our week for FARM FUN!
This Thursday: Oct. 13th.
Same rules apply: let me know today if you are coming or if you will leave a car seat (I will need at least one mom to drive a few children).
Dress warmly!
Cost: $3.50
If you are coming with siblings, please plan a snack for them.
Meet here at 9:45 (preschoolers can still come at 9:30 if that's convenient for you.)
We will be at the farm at 10 a.m. - Done by 11:15 and children not coming with parents, dropped off by 11:30(ish).
We will have lots of fun on the farm!

Today we discussed shapes; we also:
~ made shape rubbings with sandpaper and corrugated cardboard.
~ practiced forming our first and last names.
~ played in centers.
~ got to know Liam and worked with his name (a big thank you to his mom who has offered to bring Liam's favorite treat as a class snack on the Field Trip!)
~ read Color Zoo by Louis Elchert. This is a favorite book of mine to show how shapes make up everything around us.
~ made a shape art piece. We called them Abstract Shape Art and each child named their piece.
~ played outside - still the 'favorite preschool activity'.
~ ate a quick snack :)
~ read Halloween Bugs and discussed our opportunity to put on a play for you (in the newsletter)!
~ played The Shape-y Pokey!
~ learned a goodbye song.

Another day filled with fun and laughter - it was a great day!
