Community: we've been enjoying dancing with motions and the occasional partner to songs like: "Oats and Beans and Barley Grow", "Skip to my Lou" and "Farmer in the Dell"; read Caps for Sale and Happy Day; we have discussed the chilly mornings and shorter days that indicate that fall is coming, talked about acorns and falling leaves that we see outside
Fine Motor: drawing with beeswax crayons, modeling beeswax, Legos, puzzles, snap together race track, we are getting really good at folding our silks and nap blankets
Outside: made "lava shooters" to fill the planet with lava, wagon rides, sailing the pretend boat, gathering acorns for the squirrels, building fairy houses with sticks and other found materials
Cooking: made carmel dip for apple slices at snacktime, setting the table
Gross Motor: practiced skipping and hopping on one foot
Pretend: building cars out of pillows and silks, doll house, building a train station

Breakfast: oatmeal breakfast cookie, mandarin oranges, organic milk
Lunch: beef ravioli, strawberries, organic milk
Snack: organic apples, homemade carmel dip, water
