Preschool Lesson: The Changing Seasons

I chose The Changing Seasons for our theme this week after Pooh Bear noticed the leaves changing colors and falling to the ground.  We will focus on Fall this week and Winter next week. We are reading fall books and painting with fall colors.  We will taste some apple cider and make a baked apple treat. Our letter of the week is B. Our number is 2. Our advanced concept for the older preschooler is before, between and after.

For our crafts this week we are decorating a pumpkin. We may also make some crafts with fall colored leaves that we collect on our nature walks this week.

We glued felt shapes on our pumpkins. This was a fun and easy way for a toddler to decorate a pumpkin. There was no mess to clean up and later we can use the pumpkins for pie and dry the seeds for a treat.

Plants and Seeds Wrap Up

We had fun this week learning about plants and seeds. I think I had just as much fun as Pooh Bear had watching our bean seeds sprout and begin to grow.

Our Trip To The Pumpkin Farm

It rained most of the day and was very windy. The rain let up for about 30 minutes so we were able to

make a quick trip to the farm. We were not able to pick our own because of the weather. I am hoping to be able to visit another pumpkin farm this weekend.
