October was a big month in preschool beginning with Fall Break!!!!!! Jacob especially appreciated some time away from all the structured activities. Of course there were a few days left to learn about the color orange, number 3, and the Triangle!!! They even squeezed in pumpkins and Halloween! Just ask Jacob if you need someone to point out a pumpkin....he is the Cole family pumpkin expert.
On pumpkin patch day, Jacob picked out and decorated his pumpkin. He told us that the pumpkin has eyes, nose and teeth. Babcia said that the pumpkin made Jacob's tote bag extra heavy so it took all his muscle to carry it to the car!
Jacob also explored his Halloween crafts with some good old fashioned construction paper masterpieces!
Fingerprint dalmation and pumpkin with seeds!
We LOVE opening Jacob's school folder and pulling out his personalized art! We have a shell shocked knight Jacob and Jacob sitting criss-cross applesauce on a pumpkin!
And then out of no where November happened and we really don't even remember all the art, but apparently the subjects were brown, 4, and rectangle. Jacob still loves to glue and cut with scissors (luckily he hasn't attempted to style Katie's single long hair with those same scissors), BUT he doesn't really care to color.
Also in November, the kids got down to business with their letters!!!
A for apple
B for some sort of abstract bunny (with ears down low and a fuzzy tail)
C for cow (maybe)
D for dog
And somewhere along the way was some discussion of Thanksgiving and the 5 senses.
And of course, Jacob is a good apple.
We rounded out the month with a last bit of cuteness for Thanksgiving. Oh my!
