After our pumpkin picking trip last week, we naturally spent some time this week exploring pumpkins.

On Monday and Tuesday, the children were introduced to still life art. They examined the shape and color before they started drawing.


We took this opportunity to introduce markers. The children know that when they are done using a marker, the lid needs to go right back on.












Afterwards, we brought the drawings to the circle... Here Esti proudly shows hers to her friends.


In the practical life area - The children use a spray bottle and a washcloth to clean the pumpkin.





After discovering the seeds inside the pumpkin, the children pulled and tweezed them out...





examined them...




and roasted them for snack one day!


Our Leaf Man exploration continued this week as well. The children like to tell us every time they see leaves falling from the trees. They collected leaves and sticks in the beginning of the week and used them to create their own leaf men...

















During curriculum night, we invited the parents to create a version of their own for the class. Thank you! The children were so excited to add it to their 'Leaf Man Wall'.




We ended the week with a fabulous Shabbat Party and a grand reading of Mitzvah notes!
Next week, we will deviate from Fall just a bit as we prepare for the upcoming Shabbat Dinner. 
Looking forward!
