Seasons and Patterns in Nature

We are studying seasons and patterns we see in nature.  We read a book called the Tortilla Factory.  The book tells the story of a man who plants corn in the spring, watches it grow in the summer, harvests it in the fall and grinds the corn into flour which is used to make tortillas at the tortilla factory in the winter.  We made our own tortillas at the Miss Becky Tortilla Factory. Below are some photos of the cheap, efficient labor force I have working in my factory.

Upcoming Info:  Each child will need to bring a small pumpkin to class on Tuesday, Oct 30th.  The best pumpkins are the ones sold for pumpkin pies found at Fry's.  Also the kids will be dressing up on the 31th for our Halloween party.  No masks please.

Fall Break

I realize we all have kids in different school districts which means different Fall Breaks.  I hope the week of Oct 8th - 12th works for most families because that will be our break.  I realize this is a change from the calendar but I think this week works better.  If your child is going to be gone this week please send me a quick email and let me know.  I hope you all enjoy this time with your kids regardless of which week you are on break.
