*Reminder—Our Halloween Parade is tomorrow at 4:00 pm. All parents are invited to join us as we sing a Halloween song and show off our costumes!

*Announcement—Cold weather gear for our daily outdoor play

As colder weather approaches, we are in need of items to stay at WF that are both comfortable and easy for your child to put on and take off themselves. We have extra mittens and snow pants but often find that children prefer their own well-fitting winter items.

To stay at WF: 

• Mittens—labeled with name
• Snow pants—labeled with name

To bring every day:

• Hat
• Warm coat
• Boots (especially when it begins to snow)

Thank you! Let us know if you have any questions.

Today has been a great day full of laughing over comics, building with the plastic blocks and watching the city workers work on the sidewalks:

Today, we also baked pumpkin pies! First, we wrote down the recipe and gathered the ingredients.

Next, we worked REALLY hard to open the cans. Once we opened up the canned pumpkin a friend remarked, “Those look like refried beans!”

Add some evaporated milk and eggs:

Give the batter a stir, pour it in the crust, and voila! Pie!

Happy Thursday! –Jessica
