POD A: Appointments and Pumpkins

Today was full of many different activities for the children to participate in. They had the opportunity to be in clay appointments where they have been learning to cut clay and sculpt it. They have also had chances this week to go to cooking appointments. Today they were able to make blueberry cobbler that was ready for them to eat at snack time. The kids really enjoy being able to make something on their own and then experience what it tastes like.
There has been a lot going on with pumpkins this week! Today children were interested in eating pumpkin so pumpkin slices were available for them to practice their knife safety on and cut into smaller pieces that will be cooked for them to taste. We also have a pumpkin they can use spoons, or their hands, to dig out the pumpkin seeds. These are also going to be cooked for them to eat!

 Pretend is a really popular area for the kids to play in, but lately they love to pretend they are teachers singing "come to group" and running a large group time. It's a lot of fun to watch them pick up on and remember our daily activities!
