Halloween, Ghosts, Spiders, Bats and Pumpkins



This week we used shaving cream to make ghosts as well as practicing our names and letters.  More  ghosts were made from our footprints.  Silly Spiders and scary bats were created by using our handprints.  We also played a matching pumpkin game.  Outside the girls practiced their dancing, while the boys were busy climbing and sliding .
























On Wednesday we made two colors of playdough to take home.  We had a great week.  Everyone is playing together very nicely! Your children are using their words and being respectful of one another! It is so wonderful to see these strong bonds of friendship forming .  We read Halloweena by Miriam Glassman and Your a Monster and You Know It by Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley. Have a great weekend and stay warm!


On Friday your children made homemade pizza.  It was very yummy and as you can see they truly enjoyed making it!

More pumpkins were created by gluing craft sticks together then adding eyes and different items to adorn them. They were all so unique and adorable! Lots of time was spent finding the hidden Halloween cat , ghost ,monster, witch and pumpkin in the picture some children even did two!  We also counted mixed and made mini pumpkin pies!
