We Harvest by gathering all the fruits and vegetables after our gardens have finished growing. Sometimes we save these foods to eat later by freezing, canning or bottling them. This was fun to learn and then eat some of Miss Janalynn's bottled peaches for snack time. We made a corn stalk craft by practicing our cutting skills on a brown lunch sack and gluing pictures of fruits and vegetables around it. It made a fun fall decor or table center piece.
We read the book, "The Lonely Scarecrow" by, Tim Preston and colored our own scarecrow. We played the game, "Who Stole the Button Off the Scarecrow's Shirt" (Who Stole the Cookies). Then glued a button onto our scarecrow's shirt. Talking about buttons, Miss Janalynn introduced the number "4". We examined our buttons and counted 4 holes in each button. We then decorated our #4 by gluing 4 paper buttons with 4 holes onto our #4.
The older class learned to sew a button by criss-crossing yarn up and down threw a large plastic round lid with 4 holes in it. It was something fun and very different for the kids to learn.
