Fall Decorating

You may have noticed all of our Fall decorations around the school.  Did you know that they were all done with the help of the kids?  They are amazing helpers!  

 We pulled wagons filled with pumpkins and gourds, rolled hay bales into place, put mums around the school and helped clear out old plants.  Check out the pictures below!

Some classes also helped to create a hay bale maze.

And...added two special guests to try the maze as well!

HAPPY FALL!

Do you see what I see?

Throughout the month of September, we used tools to help us explore the outdoor world a little more closely.  

With the use of magnifying lenses, the children found a whole other world under their feet.

Binoculars helped us find things that were very far away.  We found airplanes, bald eagles, flocks of migrating pelicans, and friends playing very far away.

What kinds of things do you see in your backyard?
