Happy Friday! 🎃
The smallest bat in the world is the bumblebee bat. It weighs about o.o5 ounces. That is less than one penny. 🦇
This week’s story has a tiny hero too, and this week’s worksheet has a witch. If your child is still in leaf season, our fall worksheets make a good warm-up.
Now meet Andy 👇
He is the smallest puppy in his litter, and he watches his brothers and sisters go to new homes before him. Then he finds his big job as a service dog.

Story time 📖
Big Pumpkin The witch grew the biggest pumpkin ever. She wants pumpkin pie for Halloween. But she can’t get the pumpkin off the vine.
The ghost tries. The vampire tries. The mummy tries. The pumpkin does not move.
Kids like this one because the lines repeat, so your child can join in after a few pages. The monsters are spooky in a fun way.
Ask after the story: “Why did the big, strong monsters need the tiny bat?”
Watch & Wonder 🔬
A question for your young scientist. What made the witch’s pumpkin grow so big?
Water, soil, and a lot of sunshine. ☀️
This week’s video is Our Sun from Kids Academy. It is all about the big, bright star that lights our days.

Word of the week 💭
Enormous (say it: ih-NOR-mus)
Enormous means very, very big. Bigger than big.
In a sentence: “The witch grew an enormous pair of ears.”
Challenge: Find 3 enormous things and 3 tiny things today. Your child says each pair out loud: “An enormous truck, a tiny ant!”
Your corner 🌸
💪 Move: a 10-minute low-impact workout from Nourish Move Love, with no equipment. You stay on your feet the whole time.
🧘 Stretch: 10 minutes for your neck, shoulders, and upper back with Yoga With Adriene. Good after a week of carrying backpacks that are not yours.
Answer 🤔
A sand-witch! 🥪🏖️
One last thing…✨
One colored page. One story on the couch. One chalk shadow on the sidewalk.
Small moments like these count as learning, even when they take only 10 minutes. A tiny bat helped move an enormous pumpkin. Your 10 minutes can move a lot too.
And if your big win this week was finding the missing shoe, that counts.
