Our field trip to the Hollins' production of Goodnight Moon was wonderful.  We walked over with our Bolivian big buddies.  Before leaving for the "long walk".  We enjoyed sampling different kinds of apples to discuss the taste of each one.  We then graphed our preferences.  


Please remember to dress for a morning at the apple orchard tomorrow.  It is also Inside Out day for school spirit.  Maybe just wearing a shirt inside out would be appropriate.  It's a very busy and exciting week for the Wise Owls.

Although Fall Festival was soggy, it didn't dampen our spirits.  We had two days of fun on campus which included puddle stomping, pumpkin painting, dangling donut snacks, scarecrow making, and more!  Our trip to the pumpkin patch is rescheduled for Friday, October 28th.  Please send a note if you will be able to help with transportation.


We are looking forward to an upcoming field trip with our big buddies to the Ikenberry Apple Orchard as we continue to enjoy the harvests of the fall.


The Wise Owls continue to enjoy the weekly poems.  The Four Owls poem allowed us to discuss ordinal numbers, an important math concept.  This week will continue this concept with a similar pumpkin poem.  Be sure to look for it in the home folder.

Our next exciting event is the Hollins College production of "Goodnight Moon". The Early Learners, Lower and Middle Elementery levels will attend a 10:00 matinee performance on Monday, Oct. 24. The evening performances begin at 7:30 and we were concerned the younger children couldn't stay up this late and would miss what sounds like a wonderful production of a very sweet story. The Activity Fee will cover the cost of your child's attendance.
