If possible, please make other arrangements for your children, as parent conferenc...

This week we will read and learn all about pumpkins. We will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin along with many other pumpkin facts. On Friday, we will be having a fun pumpkin exploration day! We will be investigating pumpkins by measuring, weighing, experimenting with pumpkins, as well as  scooping and counting seeds.  This can get REALLY MESSY - it would be a good idea to send an old button up shirt, a "daddy shirt", or an apron for your child to wear over their clothes on this day!  We are excited for this fun activity!  On Wednesday, 10/31, we will be having fun "Fall Centers"!  Please see our ParentSquare post (coming SOON!) if you are able to donate supplies or volunteer your time on this day.  We had so much fun on our field trip to the pumpkin patch.
