Natural Children

Hello Blogger Friends,

This week's schedule is all about Harvest, Autumn and Nature. We looked at leaves of all shapes and sizes and stages of decomposition. Some were brown, some were still green, some were yellow and had spots on them. We discussed the cycle of nature and the various parts to a leaf. Check out the leaf rubbings on the bulletin board in the lunch room. Cool!

Then, we are trying different set ups here at Cherub. Johanna and our fantastic volunteer, Teresa, set up the library corner in the big room, an imagination area where the kitchen set is, our blocks are out in the carpeted area. Then for a really vintage retro experience...an ironing board and iron. Only one child told us what it was, everyone else had no idea! We are moving toward having "centers" that change frequently to have interesting things available to our children.

Oh yes, please help us fill our barrels from the Contra Costa Food Bank. We want to make a difference in people's lives by giving them something to eat. Can you help?

We had a great experience at the VA...so many happy faces and so much gratitude to us for making and bringing the stars down to acknowledge our devoted Veterans. I was unable to take any pictures due to privacy issues, but take my word for it, it was great. We distributed over 100 hand colored, painted, collaged or spray painted stars.

Enjoy the photos...have a great evening!
Hugs to all,
Miss Sue
