🎃🍁 Pumpkin Centers Are in Full Swing! 🍁🎃 Our classroom has turned into a pumpkin-filled learning adventure! 🧡 Check out all the exciting ways our preschoolers are exploring this fall favorite: 🔢 Math – Counting seeds, weighing pumpkins, and investigating sizes and textures! 🎭 Dramatic Play – Welcome to our very own Pumpkin Patch! Imaginative play is in full bloom. 👐 Sensory + Fine Motor – Digging into our pumpkin sensory tub and strengthening little hands with hands-on construction fun. 📚 Reading & Language – Practicing letter writing and building early literacy skills through pumpkin-themed activities. So much learning packed into every moment!

Fire Safety Month Field Trip! Our preschoolers had an incredible time visiting the local Fire Station this week! 🔥👨‍🚒 They learned all about fire safety, from how to stay safe in an emergency to the important role firefighters play in our community. Big thanks to the brave firefighters who took the time to show us around, explain their gear, and even let the kids explore the fire truck! 🚒
