Pumpkin Auction

The Annual Pumpkin Auction is underway at the Barnes Early Childhood Center!! Children will vote for their favorites, and families can bid in the silent auction if they would like to take a pumpkin home! Pumpkins were created by both children and teachers. Take a look at our creations:

 The Halloween Parade begins at 9:00am tomorrow morning! We are looking forward to seeing everyone in their costumes and celebrating at classroom parties! Please see your child's teacher for additional information.

Pumpkins

The sights, sounds, and temperatures of Fall are finally here! From Infants to Pre-K, we have been exploring pumpkins! Classes have been discovering the different characteristics of pumpkins including their shape, color, texture, and also finding out what is inside.

Our Toddler Two class used words such as "cold", "seeds" and "yucky" to describe the inside of a pumpkin. Preschoolers colored their pumpkin with markers before cutting open, and Toddler One played "Mr. Pumpkin Head".

Next week, we will begin our school wide pumpkin decorating contest! Check back at the end of next week to see pictures from the contest.

Now we know our ABCs.....

Our letter exploration has been getting underway in Pre-K at both Barnes and Trombly. Each week, the children explore a different letter. They have opportunities to practice writing, learning the sound of the letter, and what words begin with that letter. Take a look below at some of the awesome words they have come up!
