This is the Jibber Jabber News Wire. It is our online connection with the families that allow us the privilege of spending our days with their children. This newsletter is where we share funny stories and exciting events that take place while your children are in our very unique childcare. We will allow them opportunities that not every child would be allowed to have to explore new things in their world at a young age. We love to watch them investigate and see what happens as they try new experiences and gain so much knowledge. Please take a look and see all of the fun we have been having while we learn and get ready for school.

Let The Leaves Fall!

This week at Jibber Jabber we have been doing a lot of fun activities about leaves! We've looked at the veins in them and talked about the colors they change to during the fall season! We have done a lot of cool leaf activities! We started out with rubbing leaves! We placed our leaves under paper and rubbed crayons across the paper to make the print of the leaf!
 
 
 
Everyone had a lot of fun observing the different patterns of different leaves! Then we moved on to a more messy activity! We mixed shaving cream and paint to make pretty leaf prints!
 
 
 
 
After we made our awesome prints, everyone had a great time mixing up all the colors and shaving cream! We decided it looked like an avocado explosion! This was a really cool activity to talk about the color changes! Last but not least, we painted with leaves! Taking different leaves from all around the backyard we dipped them in paint and made leaf prints! We had a great time experimenting with the amount of paint we used! The kids found out that a thin layer of paint made a better impression then a thick layer of paint!
 
 
 
 
 
That's all we have to share this week from Jibber Jabber! It's been an exciting transition into Fall and we are looking forward to the rest of it!
