Harvest Season
Hello To All. We have been so busy at school and have much to share. We have been busy doing crafts, carving, baking, celebrating Halloween, Birthdays, making amazing sailboats, and doing puppet shows. We finally are getting to the blog. There will be loads of pictures so we are going to do a different format for this time. Please remember to click on the one photo to get a larger image. From there you must click the link in the upper right hand side of the page that is named MS_Oct_Nov1. The entire photo album will pull up instead of the group we are featuring. There were just too many photos to group them. Sorry about that. We will put one photo by each event entry. We try to give all the children a chance to be featured. Some of our stories have been of that of “Tipperty Toes”, the little elf and the tales of tiptoes lightly, the Goblin who crept to town to make mischief (of course, the children LOVE this story), and now we are onto the Mouse finds his winter house and we are currently doing this story as a puppet show. The Mouse photos will be in next blog.
So let’s get started with our Fall nature table!

Here are some lovely photos of children helping harvest from the garden to make a surprise basil/tomato/mozzarella salad for Saniyah and River’s family with the arrival of their new baby boy. Congratulations to your family!!

Here are some photos of the children all playing together outdoors with the large blocks. They built a jet plane and decided to fly to africa. Beck and Wyatt were the pilots. Monty and Saniyah served the food and and made sure everyone had their seatbelts on (the smaller flat boards you see across their laps). If you look at the far side of the plane, you will see a stack of long flat boards that Sedona and Saniyah are adding to the cargo hold as these are the children’s surf boards getting loaded onto the plane before take off. In one photo, you’ll see Monty talking to the passengers on his little speaker phone (hand held to mouth). They then journeyed by boat after the plane landed, you’ll see them in the boat with beck at the wheel (hula hoop). There are also some random play photos in this batch.

During our Halloween Festival here is Morgan the witch telling her funny stories about her dog and her magic spells gone wrong. We also have some pictures of the kids in costume as well as Justin dropping River off and he was in disguise. There is also some photos of all the pumpkins, and photos of the front garden.

Here are some photos of the back garden on Halloween day, the Pirates surprised everyone and had been for a visit (threatening to sail our boat off to look for treasures). The children are playing in the pirate boat with the treasure maps that they left behind (they also left gold coins, they were in such a hurry to go because morgan the witch scared them off).

How creative. These little boats are so amazing. Dusty Gnome (aka “Rick” for this project) was so kind to bring his tool box and the bases of the boats for the children to build their own sail boats. Thank you parents for sending in the fabric.

Here are the photos of nature day and the sailing of our awesome boats. Here are photos of a group of children playing at tall stumps, pretending they were on a train and that was the spot to get and give the tickets. Nathaniel was the conductor. A couple are of the children who were riding on a large tree branch they found (at one point, all of the children were on it together) and they learned about working together to get the branch to go in the direction they all needed to move to get anyplace.
