They each got to go inside the firetruck. They were so happy to be inside that some of them even cried when we had to take them out. Thank you fire fighters for coming and visiting our school. We hope to see you visit again soon!
The preschool classes got to go on an awesome field trip to the pumpkin patch in October! They all had so much fun on their field trip that they even brought back pumpkins for the Rose Room :) The Rose Room kids were very excited to see all the pumpkins arriving, and we let each of our kiddos choose their very own pumpkin to take home! We're bringing the pumpkin patch to Creative Minds :)
After choosing their very own pumpkin, we let the kids decorate them! Using glue and all sorts of colored glitter, they all had so much fun and the pumpkins look beautiful!
Continuing on with our interest in pumpkins, we then made paper plate pumpkins! We looked at the shape of the pumpkins in our room and saw that it was nearly a circle, so we made some orange circles of our own. The kids got a paper plate and painted orange paint all over the plate. They also added some white glitter to make the pumpkin sparkle, just like their real ones! We also added a stem on top of the plate just like a real pumpkin has. Any time the Rose Room has a painting project going on, the kids are always very excited to jump right in and get to work :)
Another favorite pumpkin tie-in this month was reading the book "Spookley the Square Pumpkin." The children enjoyed listening to the book on CD almost every day, then making their own square pumpkins out of boxes. Who knew you could do so much with a simple vegetable?
Happy Fall!
Love,
Rose Room
