October is coming to an end. The air is crisper. Trees are shedding their summer look for the vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds of fall. Porches are decked out with mums and pumpkins. And one enters the grocery store only to be bombarded with bags of Snickers, Kit-Kats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and more to choose from for those all-important trick-or-treaters!
Shout-out to all the families taking trips to apple orchards and pumpkin patches during this fall season. These outings are priceless, creating wonderful family memories. Family trips provide first hand experiences and enrich your child’s overall learning as well as increasing your child’s oral language development and their vocabulary. The kids have fun and as a bonus it's a break from the ever-present electronic devices!
You’ve all heard those cries – “Too Much TV!” “Too Much Candy!” “Too Much Time With Electronic Devices!” Well there’s no such thing as “Too Much Reading!” So this Halloween let your kids Binge On Books! Here’s a list of book titles from Scholastic Website to get you started:

1. Spooky Pookie by Sandra Boynton
2. Ollie’s Halloween by Olivier Dunrea

See you next Wednesday!
