The October newsletter from the Kendal Early Learning Center provides information on upcoming events and activities for families. It announces that school pictures will be taken on October 18th and that families can join field trips to Hillcrest Orchards on October 22nd for apple and pumpkin picking. It also lists swimming days, a nature club meeting, library and intergenerational program visits, and reminds families to send towels for swimming. Important dates like tuition due dates and holidays when the center will be closed are included. The classroom update discusses fall activities like leaf cutting and walks, as well as an intergenerational project to refurbish an old chair.

1. Every month just seems to fly by faster and faster. As we welcome October we have many fun things planned in and out of
our classroom. October also marks the start of our ELI trips so please remember to let us know at least 5 days prior if you
want to attend the trips with us. School pictures will also be on the 18th
of this month. We do have the opportunity to include
siblings and parents in our picture schedule. Please let me know if you are interested in including your family or siblings so
we can plan accordingly. We also have the opportunity to pick apples and pumpkins at Hillcrest Orchards Sunday, October
22nd
, from 1-6pm so please bring your family out and join us! With all that we have planned this month, we look forward to
seeing you and your family at as many of our events as possible!

From the Classroom:
It is October and fall is here! Sadly we will not be able to take our yearly trip to
pick apples and pumpkins, but if you would like to take your family to Hillcrest
on October 22, you will be able to receive a discount. Fall is making its way into
the classroom. The leaves on our seasons tree will be changing, we are working
on cutting with apple and pumpkin shapes, and we are going on fall walks,
making fall leaf pictures and so much more.
We are well on our way with our long-term class project. Grand-friend Donna
gave us an old chair that needed a new home. The whole class is working
together to sand off all of the black paint; then we will design and paint it in a Dr.
Seuss theme. To finish it off, Grand-friend Polly will help us make a quilted
cushion for our new chair. The children love helping us with the sanding; we
almost have all the paint removed!
Looking forward to a great year! Mary, Robin, Karen, Macie, & Sara
