The month of October was filled with signs of fall. The children were fascinated with the leaves on the trees changing colour. When the leaves began to fall to the ground, they were even more excited to collect them with sand pails while outside on the playground. The children also took turns raking them and jumping into the tiny piles.
Once Halloween was mentioned, it was all the children wanted to talk about! They loved learning and singing Halloween songs during circle time. It took no time at all for them to learn about the different Halloween creatures. We also talked about saying “Trick or Treat!” on Halloween and even got some practice during our Halloween Open House. We loved seeing everyone in their spooky costumes!
This month, we will continue our talks about Halloween, as we assume the children will be excited and want to share all about it. Hopefully, we can get in more fall content and some other topics before everyone gets too excited for Christmas!
Just a reminder to families that we do go outside two times a day; it is important that everyone bring a sweater or coat, as well as a hat and mittens if needed. We will continue to practice putting on our own coats using the “flip” method and we hope that you can work on this at home with your little ones as well!
One last note, in recognition of Remembrance Day on Wednesday, November 11th, we invite everyone to wear red in honour of this important day of remembrance.
