October was filled with excitement, learning, and plenty of seasonal fun across all of our classrooms! From exploring the beauty of Fall to celebrating together at our annual Harvest Carnival, it’s been a wonderful month of growth and community.

Throughout October, students learned about the continent of North America, discovering its geography, landmarks, food, and music. They created colorful art projects inspired by their studies—everything from bison crafts to bright orange cacti paintings! Our young learners also continued developing important grace and courtesy skills, such as greeting others politely, caring for their environment, and showing respect for friends and teachers.

In the spirit of the season, many classrooms enjoyed lessons on the Lifecycle of a Pumpkin and the changes we see during Fall Harvests. The book We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger was a favorite across several classrooms, inspiring children to head outdoors for leaf hunts and nature walks.

Our enrichment programs added to the fun—students practiced Spanish colors and greetings, sang songs like This Land Is Your Land, and cooked up delicious treats, including apple fruit yogurt donuts and “mummy” pizzas.

We ended the month with our Harvest Carnival, complete with games, face painting, a bounce house, and a petting zoo—followed by our festive Halloween Potluck and Costume Parade. It was a joyful way to celebrate all the hard work and creativity our students have shown this month.



As we look ahead to November, we’re excited to continue this wonderful journey of learning and discovery together!
