Pumpkin Life Cycle:

The pumpkin starts out as a seed.
It grows a sprout.
This grows and turns into the vine.
A flower grows on the vine.
A small pumpkin grows from the flower (this is how the blossom end is formed on the pumpkin).
The pumpkin continues to grow and turns orange when it is ripe.

We are still practicing our writing. The children were able to choose from a variety of topics this week and they were asked to try their best at writing their idea down.
Here are samples taken from this week:

This week we finished our patterns unit by creating a long paper chain. We will be using it to decorate our classroom.

Don't Forget:
It is starting to get colder outside so please send mittens and warm jackets with your child.
Send a healthy snack with your child. A list has been sent home or you can visit 100 Days of Real Food for some awesome ideas.
Each child needs to have indoor shoes, a backpack and appropriate clothing for the weather.
Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at the school, by email or just drop in (I am usually around before school).
