November is a continuation of our Fall fun. This week we have had all kinds of activities. We started out the week with a school wide treat! Ms. Jo Allen, president of Meredith College came and read Stone Soup to the kids. Then they enjoyed grilled cheese sandwiches and delicious veggie soup for lunch. (Thank you Ms. Suzann for organizing) Ms. Ashley Kate, our Meredith intern, also set up fun activities in the dramatic play area. She hosted a small "party." In the pictures below you can see the children enjoying dressing up for the party, creating invitations, and decorating. What a fun treat for all. Ms. Bass and Ms. Jenn also kept the kids busy creating lots of beautiful Fall trees. We have been talking about the weather turning colder and how the leaves on the trees are changing from green to orange, yellow, red, and brown. At the end of all the pictures you will see a slideshow of some of the classroom areas that have been changed out for November. There is a big emphasis on food because of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday and also our emphasis on how food changes from the farm (what we talked about last month) to how it looks on our table. It is quite different and though many of the kids recognize animals like the cow it is very abstract to think that the milk we drink comes from cows. Another example is what corn looks like on our plates versus the way it looks growing in the field or in our case around our scarecrows. With lots of topics to discuss and fun activities to do November will surely be an exciting month!
