I know it's January as I write this, but I wanted to back up and start at the beginning of the year. I have been so grateful for Google and other people posting their preschool ideas online. {Special thanks to Joanna Colvin (my sister-in-law's sister-in-law) :)} for her curriculum creation. All of this has helped me out so much! I'd like to pay it forward.

I love October! The beautiful, crisp Autumn weather and the fun festive activities. My favorite thing is going to the Pumpkin Patch with the preschoolers. Black Island Farms always does such a great job and has a fun set up of activities following the pumpkin pickin'.

News~
Hello!
**The Tuesday before Thanksgiving will be a fun kitchen day for the
kids. They are going to make homemade butter for your Turkey Day
rolls and also pumpkin pies. If you still have their pumpkin from
the pumpkin patch (and it hasn't been turned into a jack-o-lantern
:)), I would be happy to take it off your hands and turn it into
pumpkin puree for this activity. :D Just bring it to school after
Halloween.
Following
the Weber County School District schedule, there will be no school on
November 21st or 22nd. Enjoy this time with your family—have a
very Happy Thanksgiving!
Save
the Date!
Our
Christmas Program will be held December 13th at the Weber
County Library, Southwest Branch.
Thank
you!
Miss
SueZan
The pie day turned out awesome! I did it in groups by splitting them up, five and four. One group played while the other group baked. Then we traded. With a giant bowl in the middle we tripled the pumpkin pie recipe using pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. You just cut the pumpkin down the middle, remove the stem, and scoop out the seeds. Place on a cookie sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Then scoop it out and blend it. Voila! You have your pumpkin puree. I took time to bake the pumpkins the day before, and then showed the kids where it all came from.
 |
| The first group--with my 3 year old, Logan, climbing up on the counter as we took the picture. He wants the beaters. :) |
 |
| The second group--shaking cream into homemade butter in babyfood jars. |
The kids each had measuring cups and as we went through the ingredients list, I went in a circle around my island and each child helped put something in the mix. Then, we blended it together and poured it in the pie shell. Pumpkin Pie has a tendency to splatter when you're mixing it, so I had each of them hold a towel in front of them while I did the hand mixer part of things. :) It was funny to have a wall o' towels encircling the mixing bowl!
We also made butter by taking empty baby food jars, pouring it half full with heavy whipping cream and shaking for about 15 minutes. The kids get bored of this fast, so we played Turkey Bowling. While they stood in line, they shook their jars, and then rolled a pumpkin (minus the stem) toward water bottles with paper turkeys on the them to see how many they could knock down. They loved it when their cream starting to turn into the ball shape of butter.
