Miss Jean's Awesome October PM

October was full of friendship, pumpkin exploration, engineering, construction, physical challenges, assessments, science, and all things Fall.  Enjoy the pictures!

      We spent a lot of time doing assessments to prepare for conferences.

                                               

We do a lot of big muscle work.

We use planning and engineering skills constantly.

Using real tools to make hedgehogs was a popular activity.

They set them up all the time.

Miss Lindsay’s Awesome October AM

We had many interesting experiences this month!  We gathered materials on a nature walk with which we created a collage, measured our height in apples, explored pumpkins inside and out, hauled around many pumpkins in the yard, made our own potions with shaving cream, colored water, glitter, and dried flowers that we ground up with a mortar and pestle, had assessments in preparation for conferences, went to the Farmstead, celebrated fall and Halloween.  What a month!

How many apples tall are you?

They love physical challenges and find them wherever we go.
