Class: 3 AM MWF - Honeybees
The Honeybees had so much fun learning about our solar system. We are still exploring space in The Acorn spaceship and the observatory. We played with the "moon" sand in the sensory tub. With the cooler mornings, we loved using the manipulatives on our porch. We are very excited about our Dad's Day, Monday, October 18th. We are anxious to share the morning with our dads and show them our one-of-kind creation and gift bag. We loved using the Bouncy Balls in the Motor Room. We are jumping higher and higher. Ask your Honeybee about Calendar Time.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 BLAST-OFF! The Honeybees had a blast exploring space in The Acorn spaceship and the observatory. They liked wearing the astronaut helmets and jet packs. They took turns being in charge of the Command Center. We played with "moon" sand in the sensory tub. With the cooler mornings, besides using the manipulatives on the porch, we enjoyed our art activities outside, too. We created our one-of-a-kind dad's gift and gift bag. In the motor room, we used the bouncy balls. It’s amazing how high the Honeybees can jump! We played Red Light, Green Light using the bouncy balls. Great listening skill practice! An enjoyable part of our large group is Calendar Time. We are learning to keep track of the days, the days of the week, the month and the year.
Picture Day for the Honeybees was a great success! Acorn Alum, Robert Shaw, was very professional and so funny. He was able to capture incredible photos of the children!
On Wednesdays, we have Spanish with Miss Mary and Music with Miss Ruth.

Class: 3 AM MWF - Honeybees
In Dramatic Play, the Acorn Fire truck was a big hit! The Honeybees enjoyed driving the fire truck to put out the "fire." They liked sharing and taking turns with the "firehouse" doll house with their friends. With the cooler mornings, we had fun using the manipulatives and putting together the large floor puzzle, on the porch. The launchers in the motor room were a success. We each tried to launch the bean bag in the air and catch it! Great eye-hand coordination. Sponge mop painting is always a favorite. They liked creating with oil pastels and painting with fire trucks, too.

Class: 3 AM MWF - Honeybees
The Acorn Fire Station in Dramatic Play was a big hit! The Honeybees enjoyed wearing the fire hats, jackets and vests. They had so much fun taking turns and sharing the fire extinguishers and hoses to put the fire out of our "burning building." With the cooler mornings, using manipulatives outside on the porch is a treat. The launchers in the motor room were a success. We each tried to launch the bean bag in the air and catch it! We had a ball. Painting is a Honeybee favorite. They enjoyed shaving cream with orange and red watercolors and fold art, too. They look forward to taking their turn in art. In music, the Honeybees enjoyed meeting Miss Ruth and her turtle, Tempo. In Spanish, they enjoyed meeting Miss Mary.
On Wednesdays, we have Spanish with Miss Mary and Music with Miss Ruth.
As a reminder, preschool morning pick up is 11:30 -11:40. At 11:40, the children will be brought to the porch and your account will be charged a late pick-up fee, as indicated in our parent handbook.
