The One With October Plans: Getting Started

Hi there!
I have a list ready of things that you will need for our October plans. October is a tricky month planning-wise, so I decided to begin the plans on Monday in order for the rest of the calendar year to have nice, neat 4 week months. Hooray! It all lines up great now! 
This month is full of lots of hands-on learning about fall. It's full of leaf rubbings, pumpkin science, baking, and games. I feel like it has a good mix of fall activities that we all intend to do, but never remember to actually do. 

The learning goals of this month are:
Letters: D, E, and F
Number: 1
Color: Orange
Shape: Oval
Themes: pumpkins, fall, and baking

The October plans are HERE!!

In addition to our normal supplies, the supplies you will specifically need for the month of October are:

Week 1:
-All printables I've created
-1 can pumpkin
-3.5 cups flour
-bananas
-beads for stringing (for younger kiddos: large chunky lacing beads, penne pasta, etc. Bigger kiddos: pony beads, ditalini pasta, smaller foam beads) 
-string/yarn for stringing the beads
