Fall Festivities at Academy of Westhaven!


 Last week was bursting with autumn magic in our classrooms! Our preschoolers explored the season with hands-on activities, creative expression, and moments of gratitude that warmed all of our hearts. Here’s a peek into the fall fun we shared together:

πŸ‚ Fall Sensory Bin Adventures

Our fall sensory bins were an instant favorite! Little hands dug through colorful leaves, tiny pumpkins, acorns, scoops, and scooping cups—building fine motor skills while exploring the textures and colors of the season. The children loved pretending to “rake” leaves, fill buckets, and sort natural treasures. It was the perfect way to welcome the crisp feeling of fall indoors!





πŸ¦ƒ Turkey Feather Fluffing Fun

Giggles filled the room during our turkey feather fluffing activity! Preschoolers matched, sorted, and “fluffed” bright feathers to build their very own silly turkeys. This activity promoted color recognition, creativity, and teamwork as they swapped feathers and shared ideas. Nothing says November like a classroom full of tiny, feathery masterpieces!






πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Thank You Cards for Veterans

In honor of Veterans Day, our students created heartfelt thank-you cards to show appreciation to the brave men and women who have served our country. With crayons, stickers, and big smiles, the children crafted messages of gratitude. Their sweet drawings and simple words of thanks remind us how meaningful kindness can be—no matter your size or age.





As the leaves continue to fall and the weather turns cozier, we’re so grateful for the joy, curiosity, and laughter your children bring to our school each day. Here’s to more memories, more learning, and more little moments that make this season so special. πŸ❤️
