Good Afternoon Sweet Owls~

We had a turkeyriffic day in the owl room. We played with the black beans and leaves again. We painted over fall shapes and took them off to see the white shape on the paper. My sweet owls painted a turkey body and we gobbled. We read Blessings everywhere and sang our turkey song. We had our picture taken and this takes a while so we did not have as much time to explore. We went to Motor movement and played with Ms. Betty and in Chapel we talked about sharing and fed Mr. Hungry. His belly was empty and then it was full. Yeah. We had so much fun on the playground too. We painted on brown paper with fall colors and colored with crayons.

Enjoy your weekend. Remember next week is the big picnic. It will be at 11:00 all three days. You may come and enjoy but as always I understand if you need all 3 hours to go to the grocery store.

With Love,
Tracee

Hello Owls~

I hope you are enjoying the Owl like weather. We enjoyed another fun week at school. We enjoyed the black beans, squirrels and fall leaves in our discovery table. We loved scooping and dropping the beans on the floor. We practiced cleaning up too. We painted on the easel with sponges. We made a pumpkin patch by putting yellow and red paint on the bottom of a cupcake pan and mixed to two colors together to get orange and then made a print on the paper. My Owls loved this. They loved the sensory feeling of mixing the paint and they got to watch the paint turn colors. We read Blessings Everywhere and talked about being thankful. We threw colored leaves in the air and said up down and sang about the leaves falling. We laughed and squealed during this experience. We sang our Turkey song and gobbled. We sorted the balls in different colored blocks- red balls in red box ect. We will continue to sort different items. My Tuesday and Thursday class got to play outside where we painted a hay bell and also everything else around us including ourselves. What an experience.
In chapel-we searched for Jesus to tell him Thank You for healing the sick men.

Remember to send a jacket that can get dirty. We do a lot of exploring outside and will continue to as the weather gets cooler.

Have a wonderful weekend and God Bless!!
With Love,
Ms. Tracee
