Today, we made pumpkin pie. The key word was teamwork. We learned how to wait our turn because everyone had a very special part of the process which became their special job. We followed a recipe with helpful pictures to know how much of each ingredient we needed. We tasted along the way and realized that some of our ingredients don't taste so great on their own. I'm sure we'll love them all together in pie form! I'll take the morning pie and afternoon pie home to bake over the weekend. Friends will get to taste the final product on Monday or Tuesday.

We also had a book celebration! All week we have been getting excited about making books. We've read many books written and illustrated by Mo Willems recently and he has inspired us to write words in our own books in addition to drawing pictures. Today, we each saved our best book to read to the class.

Faline wrote a book about many things, Sam wrote a Halloween inspired, spooky story, Caleb wrote a book about Halloween as well, and McClellan wrote a book about dinasaurs. Some of our books even included details retold from one of our favorite Mo Willems book, Leonardo The Terrible Monster. Nice work smart preschoolers! There will be more opportunity for book writing in the days to come (blank books are kept in our writing center at all times for writing pleasure).

I'm looking forward to seeing my afternoon class in the morning on Monday!
