I thought you would all enjoy these pictures from Farm Week.  As you can see, the kids were working hard to shuck corn.  Prior to this we talked about all of the things that come from corn (corn oil, popcorn, corn meal, etc.) and we also got to touch some of these things.  So some of us got a little bit covered in corn starch!  The bottom picture is after we finger painted with chocolate pudding to make muddy pigs.  All in all it was a great week in Preschool.

This week we will be learning about Fire Safety.  It's going to be very exciting and Mr. Newton even made a  cardboard box fire truck for us to play with in Dramatic Play.  On Friday we will have a visit from a real fire fighter, James' dad!

Thanks for sharing with us how you chose your children's names.  They loved hearing about it, and we did, too :)  We'll save your responses and include them in our end-of-the-year books.
