HAPPY FALL Y’ALL
Here in Savannah signs of an early fall are everywhere…
Mornings are cool and crisp (even though it is still 80 degrees again by noon)! Autumn wreaths and pumpkin decorations are popping up on front doors, and garden clubs are tansitoning to fall vegetable planting projects. But the biggest 
hint that fall has arrived may be the ability to order pumpkin spice lattes from your favorite neighborhood coffee shop! (:
Can you beleive the holiday season will soon be upon us? Don’t panic just yet!

Give a Hand for Fall
There are so many things you can make with a simple hand print! I came across this image at www.kaboose.com and encourage you to create some fall art with your child. Choose at-home materials or make it more nature inspired by using found items in your own backyard.
Miss Rebecca Recommends
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. With kids back in school, and back into their study routines, it’s a great time to start making the library a regular stop in your fun family routine.
To get everyone into the fall spirit, I recommend Read Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert. I love the use of watercolor and collage in the beautiful illustrations. In this introduction to the life of a tree, young readers will learn fun facts about trees like how roots absorb nutrients and what photosynthesis is.
