"What Is Fall?"

Friday, October 3rd was my turn to host Tate's preschool group! I had SO much fun! His friends are way cute and we had a blast! Mitch and Rachel were off track so they were able to help out and join in on the fun! My topic was "What is Fall?" This is a note I had to welcome the kids. We also had colored leaves on the ground leading the way up to the front door. The kids thought that was pretty neat!

Rachel took this picture of me... I told them a story about what happens to a tree when it's leaves begin to change colors. I was the tree here blowing in the wind and dropping my leaves for the kids to catch!

Then we read a poem about leaves. They would hold up their color of leaf when it was mentioned in the poem! They were so attentive and FUN to talk to!
(click on the picture and check out Bo's face!!! These cuties are seriously easy to entertain!!)

During craft time we made macaroni and leaf necklaces. We also practiced our cutting and gluing skills and put together a leaf mobile.

Snack time was a hit! Orange filled oreos and apple juice!
Nothing cuter than a 3 year old covered ear to ear in chocolate oreo! Priceless!!

They all posed for a picture with their crafts! Great job kids!
(Tate was being a stinker and wouldn't get in the picture)

This was the poem on our leaf mobile!
We sang it to the tune "5 little monkeys jumping on the bed"

Andrew, Abby, Haylee, Ella, Boston & Tate...
Thanks for spending the morning with me!
Can't wait until my next turn!!

Do you trade off and do the preschool at other people's homes or do you do this all the time? What a cute idea. I think your new niece Jordan is cute! Your brother looks like your Dad. I love that she is so chunka and healthy! I could kiss her. I miss loving a brand new baby.
