Basil the Bunny

Basil the Bunny came by today and was much loved by all. Special thanks to Emerson and her mom Kim for bringing Basil in. The children loved getting to pet Basil, feed him lettuce, and watch him hop around the room.

As an inclusive and secular preschool, we don't do holidays, including Halloween. We ask that candy and costumes stay at home. There are several (admittedly boring) reasons we don't allow costumes in the classroom. Some small children are upset by or scared of costumes, especially masks and face painting. Costumes can restrict movement and be unsafe on the playground. We cannot guarantee costumes will be clean and intact at the end of the day. For your entertainment, here is another reason we do not allow costumes in the classroom: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/

See the Little Rabbit

See the little rabbit go, hop, hop, hop.
See her ears go flop, flop, flop.
See her eyes go blink, blink, blink.
See her nose goes twink, twink, twink.
See her white coat, so soft and furry.
See her run - away in a hurry!

5 Little Apples

Way up high, in an apple tree (raise hands over head)
Five little apples smiled at me (smile)
So I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake tree)
Down came an apple, Mmm, it was good (Rub tummy)

Repeat
