The children had a wonderful Harvest Festival thanks to the many helping hands who made it possible. Our gardener, Andrew, put in countless hours of preparation and with the help of a few parent volunteers made 40 gallons of delicious Stone Soup. Almost everyone enjoyed a steaming hot cup of soup with delicious homemade bread. We exchanged songs with Esprit as a gift in celebration of our garden and it's bounty. The children took part in a variety of activites ranging from folk dancing, paper hat making, and orienteering.
After the outdoor festivities we moved inside for a reading of the Bill Martin Jr. book Old Devil Wind. The children acted out the parts and joined in the repetitive text. Wearing the spider hats that we had made earlier in the day everyone enjoyed a plate full of seasonal treats. Thanks to all who donated and came in and helped out. A good time was had by all.
If you are able to take your child with you on Tuesday while you vote please do so. It will surely be the climax of our civics unit of study. As an added bonus you can dot the bubbles next to your candidate and allow them to fill in the bubble! We'll be switching gears mid week post elections and starting a science study on sound and magnets. If you happen to have any magnets that we could borrow please send them in with your child. Make sure they are clearly labeled with your name. Thanks!
