Fall Art Creations!

These are some of the Art projects we worked on this fall. Our "Francy Fish" finger paintings were sooo beautiful! I am in the process of putting them on a black background to take home. This artwork is worthy of a frame! I just loved them!

October Fun!

Earlier this month, the Kindergarten classes went on a trip to the Apple orchard at McAllister's Farm. We had a fantastic trip and learned a lot. We enjoyed picking the apples and most of all....tasting them! We had fun on the hayride and watching the cows munch on the apples. Tasting the grapes was a new experience for everyone- especially when we saw what happened to our tongues! :) We were allowed to choose a pumpkin for our class as well. Thank you McAllister farm! We picked apples to bring back to our school. We filled 4 baskets within minutes!!!! After the hayride and posing for class pictures, we had our lunch in the big barn. What a great day!
