Turkey Hand Paintings. . .literally

Brightly colored paint and permission to paint on their hands made this activity memorable and very messy--excellent!Above: Paige and Jaden

Paige, "Look at me!"

Hannah & Lily

Grant had grander visions for his turkey than a mere handprint. . .

Hannah, Lily, and Paityn dutifully at work.

Aboard the Mayflower, T/Th Class

Learning about the pilgrim's ocean voyage across the great Atlantic become a bit more real as we attempted our own ship ride. A fan and spray bottle of water created just the effect we needed to feel we were really riding the waves!

Stone, Lily, Paityn, Hannah, Julia, Jaden, Paige, and Grant enjoy an ocean ride that proved to be very entertaining. I don't know who was laughing harder, the students or the teachers!




Debbie is getting very good with that spray bottle!

Crossing the Great Atlantic M/W Class

Reagan, Patrick, Tyler, and Trenton on the high seas!

Little pilgrims getting showered by sea mist as Debbie sprays water into

the fan. What a blast!

Halloween Parade and Program T/Th Class

Waiting anxiously in the hallway for parents to arrive, the students giggle and try, rather unsuccessfully, to keep each other quiet. ;)Above, Jaden, Grant, Paige, Julia, Alexis, Paityn, and Stone.

We certainly missed Lily and Hannah who were ill on our big day. :(

Halloween Parade and Program M/W Class

What fun it is to dress up and pretend! We had special guest appearances by Batman, a Ninja Turtle, a Power Ranger, a Race Car Driver, and Dash. Aka Trenton, Patrick, Tyler, Reagan, and Ethan.

Pumpkin Ball is a Ball! T/Th Class

Julia, Lily, Jaden, Alexis, Hannah, Paige, and Grant. Whose pumpkin was the closest? Oh, we're all winners at preschool! :)

Wahoo! Look at those pumpkins fly!

Pumpkin Ball Round Two, M/W Class

Trenton, Reagan, Tyler, Ethan, and Patrick are set to roll their pumpkins. The one stopping closest to the "mother" pumpkin is the winner!

Black paper faces turn our pumpkins into easy jack-o-lanterns. This version is easier on my nerves than traditional knife carving. :)

Happy Birthday, Debbie!

Debbie, our full-time volunteer had a birthday in October. The students presented her with two large cards, all decked out with their creative artwork!
