Week of October  18 - October 22
It's starting to feel like fall!

Last week was short but very busy. The children enjoyed our science unit on seeds. Our first look was at apple seeds.   After cutting and peeling 15 apples, adding  a little cinnamon, water,  a pinch of sugar, 4 hours and a class of patience we enjoyed DELICIOUS applesauce. Our classroom smelled delicious as we waited for the applesauce to cook in the crockpot.
We followed up with comparing apple, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.  We found out that apples have about 5-8 seeds, pumpkins have approx. 280 seeds and sunflowers have between 1,000 to 2,000 seeds.
A fun and yummy science unit.

We had a wonderful visit from 2 firefighters who talked to the children about fire saftey and  prevention. They enjoyed watching as the firefighter put on his equipment.
