First Day of Fall!

Today marked the first day of fall! The children were busy being active and exploring the outdoors!

During outside time, the children ran around the tree while Mr. Jonaitis shook off some of the leaves!

Sage was jumping from one tree stump to the other during outside time. He said, "It's hard work to stay balanced!"

During outside time, Muadh ran into the house and said, "I come in here for shelter!"

John and Mathias were riding bikes during outside time. John said, "I can go fast like lightening!" Mathias said, "I can go as fast as a cheetah!"

During outside time, the children were able to use paint dabbers to create art!
