A Peek At Our Week: Sept. 24-28

In Nature this week Wendy taught us about sunflowers

We found the tallest one from our garden and worked hard to pull it out of the ground

Sean led the crew of helpers until the sunflower was completely out of the garden

Elizabeth examined the flower

We found out that sunflower leaves work great as umbrellas!

Another Nature group got to make a scarecrow

They found the perfect pumpkin to use for a head

The finished product: could they be more excited?!

One day we went looking for Josie and Jennie (burros). We found them playing in our fort!

Merry and a few others can already do the monkey bars! We're enjoying the practice while the weather is still warm.

Apple Season

There are apples galore in the Pony Classroom! We've been studying the parts of the apples, baking with apples, playing apple games, tasting apples, graphing apples, painting apples and writing about apples. The apple fun will continue well into next week.
Have you recently been to an apple orchard or been cooking with apples? Feel free to send us some photos or recipes and we'll post them next week.

Nancy taught us about the parts of the apple and read us some great apple books.
