October 26-30, 2026

We had a very busy week in Pre-K!

We colored our first color-by-number worksheet of the year and were great at following directions!

We worked on some super challenging Montessori lessons and were so proud of ourselves!

We attended a pep rally for our Varsity Volleyball CHAMPIONS!

We sang pumpkin songs in music class!

We flew some ghosts in P.E. class!

We learned that pumpkins that are darker orange and have more lines, have more seeds inside, so we had to cut open some pumpkins to investigate!

Everyone was invited to help clean out the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin - but some of us preferred to just look and not touch!

We read SO MANY Halloween stories!

We attended our Service Partner Commissioning Prayer Service and were officially recognized as the School Drive Coordinators at HCA!

We had a "spook-tacular" Halloween themed show and tell!

We spent some time investigating our pumpkins - the shell, the flesh, the pulp, and the seeds! Did you know that using a magnifying glass makes investigating even more fun?

We even carved our two pumpkins! The students voted on what they wanted to carve and were great observers while I carved them.

We ended our pumpkin unit with all our EC friends and a super fun science experiment - elephant toothpaste! Be sure to ask your children about the chemical reaction they saw!

We welcomed Mrs. Palmisano and Mrs. Popiel who taught us about our mission party partner, Casa Cornelia, and read us All Are Welcome! We can't wait to make our welcome cards to send to them!

Stay tuned next week for all the pictures from our Halloween Mission Party!

Show and tell will be most Wednesdays throughout the school year and we will start next week! Please place all show and tell items in your child's backpack or a separate bag. Please help your child prepare three clues to give their classmates to help them guess which object they chose to share. The schedule will be as follows:

• Wednesday, November 4: something that begins with the /k/ sound 
• Wednesday, November 11: something that begins with the /r/ sound
• Wednesday, November 18: something that begins with the /p/ sound

• There is no school on Monday, November 2 (Faculty Inservice Day).
