Pumpkins & Flowers

This week we prepared for fall at Mendota and Mendakota Manor! We awoke our senses this week by smelling and guessing different seasonal spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Then we took advantage of our flower gardens and enjoyed smelling, touching, and viewing the colors the beautiful flowers. We used our fine motor skills and creativity to create fall flower arrangements for both houses. We also decorated the house with pumpkins we painted ourselves! Finally, fall preparation isn't completed without watching trees turn colors! It was a perfect brisk fall day for a walk in the neighborhood to check out the vivid fall colors!
