Casitas Del Sol

Casitas Del Sol created a bulletin board for the community room "Fall Into Reading" with some of the children's favorite book titles.  We also made cool cultural masks for Dia de los Muertos, representing the deceased.  We are working on Fall wreaths at the moment.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Today the children are making a two sided blanket for the holidays.  Everyone brought two blank blankets/material for this craft activity.  The children cut approximately 2 inch slits around all side's and made knots with the slits creating a fun and simple design to their blankets.  Hope you try this, its fun and easy to do.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

 

Cottonwood Creek

Hello to one and all!

We have been beyond busy here at Cottonwood Creek but here is a small update on what we have been working on here at the computer lab.  We are working hard to make it look festive for the upcoming holiday.  The leaves are so beautiful this time of year, Autumn leaves changing colors brings a sense of calm to the world.  With that in mind we wanted to apreciate them as much as possible so we made prints of them by simply collecting some large leaves, painting the side with the veins and pressing them against white paper.  The children thought it was the coolest thing!  What's so great about it is that it is about a half hour project and half hour prep that involves taking a walk around the beautiful complex, enjoy the scenery and collect Autumn leaves.  How fun and relaxing!  Well for now I'll leave it at that but will send you updates as soon as we start on our Christmas decorations.  Hope everyone enjoys this very wonderful holiday, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

 

Sand Creek

Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying this month of November as much as all of us here at Sand Creek.  During the past month of October, children made lots of creative crafts like pumpkins, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, bats and lots of scary stuff.  They also played some cool games like bingo and loteria (Spanish bingo) and won some really nice prizes.  Not like a car or anything crazy like that but cool stuff!  On Halloween day the children came dressed up as their favorite Halloween character, we also made fun food activities which involved them decorating their own cupcakes and playing fun games with one another.  The children are looking forward to the next fall festival that we have planned at the end of this month.  They have a full list of wonderful games and great craft ideas.  We hope everyone has a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
