This Week at a Glance:

Tuesday—swim lessons at the Y

Friday—our Halloween Parade is at 4:00 pm. Parents and costumes are welcome!

Hello! Today we would like to wish our friend Daniel a very happy birthday! Although his actual birthday was yesterday, we had a marvelous time celebrating with him at school today. It’s a joy to witness Daniel’s sweet smile and creative spirit every day! Happy Birthday, Daniel.

Friends spent the morning deeply engrossed in a number of different projects, including decorating Daniel’s “5” birthday card:

The music area was also in full use this morning. After warming up with some Halloween songs, including the WF favorite “Dancing Bones”, friends got out the guitars and played the piano. So many rockin’ rhythms!

Later, friends gathered in the reading area to hear Dr. Pompo’s Nose. We specifically wanted to share this book with friends because the illustrations are made up of photographs of carved pumpkins.  Inspiration for our own pumpkin carving we will be doing later this week!

Outside, we took advantage of the beautiful, crisp weather through imaginative play, drawing at the outside art table and bike riding!

Have a marvelous Monday. –Jessica
