Fair Haven Farms 2016

We had a perfect fall day to visit Fair Haven Farms. The signs of fall were abounding! We loved tasting the fruit and picking our own pumpkin to take home.

Signs of Fall

This week we read and wrote about signs of fall as we prepared for our trip to Fair Haven Farms. We used the app Drawing Pad to make these fall pictures.

The Wheels on our Bus

Take a listen to a favorite kindergarten song. We love using our name to learn about letter sounds!

Our Forever Books

We loved checking out each other's "Forever Books". We got to know each other better as readers and reminded each other how important it is to read books over and over again.

Our Day in Kindergarten

Our days in Kindergarten are busy! Here are some of our new routines. Ask your kindergartner about his/her favorite time of the day.
