I hope that everyone had a great Halloween and showed some control with all that extra candy around the house! What a great way to introduce healthy foods and vegetables to our kids! This week we talked about farmers, harvesting fruits and vegetables, junk food and staying healthy. We worked on classifying foods into three groups: vegetables, fruits and junk food. We even had a taste test of vegetables. Everyone seemed to enjoy the sugar snap peas and carrots the best!

We learned about the letter V and that the word vegetable begins with a V. We used our best coloring skills and snipping skills to make our own basket of vegetables too! We all enjoyed our poem about Little Boy Blue, and then used our shapes to create our own Little Boy Blue in a hay stack! This week we did get a chance to go outside but everything had a beautiful frost over it. We took this opportunity to talk about how water changes when the temperature changes! There were lots of oooooohhhs and aaaaaaahhhs, especially when they realized how cold it was to the touch of a finger!

We had a short week but as you can see we kept very busy! It was a pleasure to meet with all of you during conferences! Please enjoy your four day weekend!
