Fabulous Friday!

It was a really chilly morning, but everyone looked so cute all bundled up! When I got to school everyone was outside trying to figure out if they were cold or not! Some friends opted to sit with ms Jackie and ms Lizzie while Ivy, Jasper, Joey, and Annabelle explored the playground not letting the cold get to them! We took some cute "fall" pics then marched in for snack! We washed hands and sat for some watermelon and banana! Some of our friends have been rejecting washing their hands, so we took a few minutes to discuss the importance of washing our hands before and after we eat! Once we were all done with snack we made our way to the deck for some fun pumpkin carving and sensory exploration. Ivy, theo, wren, koichi, Paislie, and Annabelle had such a blast digging into the pumpkin and feeling the seeds and pulp! They helped pull out the pulp and gather the seeds into a bowl! When carving, I asked if the pumpkin was mad or happy, we agreed on happy, so we cut out triangles for eyes and a half moon for a smile! They all loved seeing the pumpkin with a smile on his face! We cleaned up and I took half of the kids inside for hand wash, lunch and nap!
After nap, we read books, cuddled and had milk! We sat for snack, while ms Cherokee came to visit, she sang some funny songs while everyone was sitting, after ms Jackie made her way back in and music Friday started! She started off with some "monster mash" to get the kids into the spirit, they had so much fun jumping up and down, dancing silly and free while Jackie played guitar. We had Theo's mommy, and Annabelle's Grandpa stop in for some Music fun before they left for the weekend! Jackie continued with some of our favorites before moving to the primary room, while Mr Nick came to visit! He showed everyone the pumpkin he was carving, and we talked about the different shapes he was cutting. We got on jackets ad shoes, had a quick yo gabba gabba dance party, then headed outside for some free play/afternoon exploration! What a great ending to a fabulous Friday!

Much love
Dom and Jackie
