October has been a fun-filled month of exploration and discovery. During the beginning of the month we learned and talked about apples, leaves, worms, and slugs. As the month progressed, we segued into pumpkins and, of course, Halloween.

The children have really enjoyed singing lots of fun fall songs such as “Grey Squirrel,” “Big Eyed Rabbit,” and “Five Little Pumpkins.” Fun projects this month included leaf painting, baking apple crisp, creating masks, and making our own pumpkins out of paper bags.

Sacramento Street Preschool also participated in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record program. Children all over the country read on November 7th to promote Literacy. Graeme’s dad Dean came to read the story for us. (Thank you, Dean!) After the story, the children had a great time using shaving cream as “snow” and playing in it with toy people.
