It\u2019s October! Summer has ended and autumn has arrived. I, for one, am glad that the weather is getting cooler. We also get the excitement of watching the leaves turn orange, yellow, and red\u2014painting the mountainside with fiery colors. \ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of fire, we\u2019ve been talking all about light and fire<\/em> this week in our new unit: Celebrations!<\/strong> \ud83c\udf89 We thought about how important light is\u2014it helps us see, keeps us warm, and makes us feel safe. We also learned how light is a big part of celebrations, from lanterns to fireworks, often carrying a special meaning. This week, we looked at Obon<\/strong>, a Japanese festival we\u2019ve celebrated ourselves, and shared our own experiences. I wonder what we\u2019ll discover as we explore more festivals around the world! \ud83c\udf0d\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what? Two festivals are coming up this month! \ud83c\udf15\ud83d\udc07<\/p>\n\n\n\n
