Happy October!
It's hard to believe we have been in school a month already! We have been having a lot of fun getting to know each other and getting into a classroom routine. All of the children seem to be settling in and getting to know each other.
We have noticed a huge interest in dramatic play - specifically dress up, cooking, and with the baby dolls. The children are modeling some of the things they are familiar with from home, like making dinner, taking care of babies, or dressing in familiar professions. We would like to continue this interest to see what happens next!
We have been getting to know each other and moving and constructing together as well. Dancing and music as well as construction have been large parts of our day. This is a great way for the children to get to know each other as they work and form connections. We have also started to bring in different musical instruments and move our bodies in different ways through dance and yoga.
As we enter fall in full force, we had some pumpkins donated to our classroom from one of our families. The children were interested in exploring the outside of the pumpkins, and today we had a group discussion about what might be inside. After lots of ideas, we opened one up to see what was inside. The children had the chance to explore the inside of the pumpkin in lots of different ways. Some children just wanted to smell it, while others wanted to get their hands right in the seeds!
It will be exciting to see where the next few weeks take us!
