Our annual field trip to the pumpkin patch

So thankful for the wonderful families that continue to participate in this fun tradition!

Back to School Bash

This summer, the children helped to plan a party to celebrate all the fun we had and the start of the upcoming school year. As a group, we decided what kind of foods to have; we voted on treats, and chose ingredients.  We talked about our favorite games from the summer that we wanted to share with our families.

We addressed invitations and mailed them to parents and grandparents:

Then, we watched the calendar and counted down the days. 

Another fun family event! Thanks for all your help, kids. :)

Our Annual Families Gathering

As always, I am grateful for the families enrolled at Kinder Beginnings. The children themselves are amazing, and I appreciate when we have the opportunity to extend our daily group to include their parents.

Group activities were led by "Miss Ellen", local Folk Life Artist Ellen Ford.

Kyndal, Blayke, Raven and Cameron were proud to have planned our menu:
Hot chocolate (with marshmallows), apple cider, sandwiches, veggies with ranch dip, grapes, trail mix and cookies.

We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather, perfectly comfortable even in the midst of November!
