Everyone loves a parade! Both classes had a chance to play instruments and march around the room today.

 

 

 

 

Then we played a listening game in the morning class.  Miss Diane put 4 circles on the floor, each one a different color.  Then the kids had to listen and follow a 2-part command such as, "Pick up the yellow circle and give it to Miss Bobby."  They did great!

 

In the afternoon we played "What's Missing?"  Miss Diane put 5 different shapes on the floor, each one a different color.  Then she covered the shapes with a blanket.  When she removed the blanket one or two shapes would be missing and the kids had to try and figure out which pieces had been taken.

 

 

 

In the morning class we played outside. What a beautiful day!

Ready, set, go!

 

In the afternoon class we played with orange playdough, made jack-o-lantern faces, and then dressed up!

Today we continued talking about pumpkins and costumes.  Talking about these things is more meaningful to the children after they have experienced it for themselves.  Everyone had a lot to say about trick-or-treating, dressing up, and candy.  We practiced our pumpkin chant, "Five Little Pumpkins," and this time, instead of using stick puppets, we put on pumpkin costumes.

 

 

In the morning we also played a game called "Roll the Pumpkin."

 

 

 

Then we played with playdough and dressed up in costumes!



Happy Halloween!

We had a fun day today.  We began our day as usual by completing puzzles and reading books. Then we did something special.  We went out into the courtyard and had a pumpkin hunt.

Look at what we found!

 

 

 

After we each found a pumpkin, we brought it back inside and painted it.  We will bring our pumpkins home tomorrow.

 

 

We also practiced our chant, "The Five Little Pumpkins."  Some of us held pumpkin stick puppets and some of us got to make ghost and wind noises through "spooky tubes."  It was silly and fun.

 

 

 

 

 

After that we played in the kitchen, at the sensory table, and at the train table.

Yea! A helper!

 

Finally, it was snack time.  We ate spiders, pumpkins, ghosts, and witches. Not really. we ate pretzels, and crackers with peanut butter and some orange Jello jigglers. YUM!

If you are going trick-or-treating tonight, please be safe. See you tomorrow.
