Welcome to October in Mixed Age!

Hello Mixed Age Families!!

We kicked off October with some new centers! Our play dough is now orange and we have a variety of tools and accessories for making some very spooky creations! Our pretend center is now a hibachi restaurant, and the children have been busy taking orders, cooking, and serving up delicacies all week. Our sensory table is filled with dyed dry rice, pumpkin buckets, spiders, silicone bugs and a variety of other spooky silly things! This has been a VERY popular place to be, and we are learning about teamwork and helping out when the rice inevitably gets all. over. the. floor. :)

On Friday we had our first special guest for Community Helpers Month. Lt. Nick Sheehan from the Attleboro Fire Department (and JJ parent) visited our classroom to talk about what it’s like to be a firefighter. He showed off all the gear he would be wearing if he ever showed up to help at our houses, and emphasized that it might look a little strange, but that firefighters are only there to help, and shouldn’t be feared. The children had some great questions for him, and really enjoyed listening to his stories. Ask your child about how Lt. Sheehan saved the baby ducks!

Here’s a recap of what we did this week, as well as some important reminders. Please read through til the end!
