Despite the rain, we made it a great morning inside of WWF. We started our morning withthe donut shop game. It was great to see the children recite the motions to the song and learn colors. We then read, “The Apple Pie Tree.” This was a great way to get the children engaged in fall. It was then time for some guitar music. We also brought out our tub of fall leaves. We sang some songs about falling leaves, and practiced dangling them from up above to the floor. We also did a “fall rendition of “Ring Around the Rosie.” The children really enjoyed it.

The children have really taken to our new apple pie set. They were busy setting the table and serving the pie, serving coffee and tea to their friends and teachers. Sloane and Elizabeth gathered up their baby dolls to accompany them. It was then on to our kitchen to make some homemade apple sauce. Marta really enjoyed using our apple peeler, and really developed her fine motor skills. We all counted the apples on the table, and Sloane and Oliva helped themselves and bit into apples all of their own. The children added cinnamon before we placed it on the stove. The whole WWF house smelled of apples and cinnamon, perfect for this fall day!

Several of the children enjoyed working on their gross motor skills while climbing and jumping in our new ball pit. In all, it was a great morning!

For lunch today we dined on tuna salad, whole wheat bagels, peas, and of course, our homemade apple sauce.

Prior to naptime, we had story time. We read a book titled, “Apples.” We also read “Ten Little Ducks.”

In regard to the farm trip tomorrow, Tami has said that if the weather is rainy around 8:00 or so, we will not be going. If weather conditions are uncertain, Tami will send out an email.

Enjoy the afternoon!
