October 17th

We have had a busy week.  I apologize I did not do a good job of photographing our week either.  The kids earned their first sharpen your saw party and chose to do a p.j. day on Wednesday.  We enjoyed some yummy popcorn and m&ms with some good books, good friends, and some plush extras.  We also played a little Huckle-Buckle-Bean-Stock.   Today we ventured over to Cedar Falls to watch the play, Curious George.  It was a great day and the kids behaved very well.

Alexus, Brooklyn, Claire, and Keaton working hard to make our classroom a little bit more festive. Happy Harvest Season!
