Autumn Activites

It's starting to feel a little more like fall. Chillier mornings, a few days of light rain, changing leaves, pumpkins, persimmons... I love this time of year! And so do our students... especially if they are doing fun things like dehydrating persimmon chips or painting pumpkin art or making pumpkin cookies!

Fourth grade enjoys picking Hachiya persimmons the garden!
Cutting persimmons to go in the food dehydrator...

Persimmons ready to dehydrate!
Kindergarteners get into shapes as they design, cut out and glue their pumpkins on black paper!

Step one of 3rd grade's pumpkin art project: drawing pumpkins and painting them by mixing colors.
Next steps: cutting out their painted pumpkins & creating a night scene for their 'Moonlit pumpkin patch'. 

Adding final touches!
Fourth grade also made a yummy no-bake Pumpkin, Oat, Raisin Cookie! The recipe was super simple -- find it here.
