Sponge painting fall leaves!
Zero the Hero brought beads for day 20!
First we counted out 20 beads, then we made "bracelets" with pipe cleaners!
On day 30 Zero brought Halloween playdough. The children used their ten frames to make 30 playdough balls.
We had five Moms come in to help us make handprint Christmas trees for the school Christmas card fundraiser.
This is what they looked like before we sent them off to be made into Christmas cards. The children thought it was so funny to make Christmas trees in October!
Here is a Math game we played. The children roll a die (they thought it was so funny that it was called die and not dice when there is only one). Then they coloured the matching number. They really liked this game, and we'll play more variations of it in the future.
We drew and painted pumpkins. They are not done yet (yes I know Halloween is over!). The class loves painting, but the pumpkins are so big I can only take two at a time during centres.
The Halloween stations were a huge success, thanks to my many helpers! Here's one little kindie making "monster toast".
Yummy!
Spider hats! I don't think all the candy corn fangs made it home!
Glitter spider webs!
Candy apples! We also made bats, but for some reason I didn't get a photo of them. Just busy I guess!
The children were plenty excited for Halloween even without any sweet treats to eat. For the first time ever, I started to read a story and closed it after a few pages because the kindies could not focus on a story. This year's class just LOVES story time...so I knew they were excited.
Now that it's November, we will begin spending some time and energy planning our Christmas concert. Since the talented Mrs. Latta joined our school a few years ago, we have had wonderful concerts.
Next up is Remembrance Day. Our assembly is on November 8th. You are welcome to join the school for our assembly (it is usually very beautiful). I will know the time of the assembly by Tuesday.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
