Happy Halloween!!
We had a great day at preschool.
The kids were excited to see a special pumpkin for October 31.
Carly was our special person today during Circle Time.
We revisited a lot of what we learned on Tuesday, and we reviewed the nine J words we learned.
We decided to count with our jellybeans again.
And then we sang some Halloween songs.
One about a witch's hat with three sides...
And good thing Zeegan was here, because she knew all the words to
1 little 2 little 3 little pumpkins...
She did a great job leading the class!
Then we all took turns pulling out a mystery letter from our Jack o' Latern.
He held A-Z, and we didn't know which letter we would get!
When it was your turn to pick a letter, you got to think of something that starts with that letter that has to do with Halloween!!
The kids thought of all kinds of things!
Then we learned about pumpkins.
Where they grow, and how to change them into a Jack o' Lantern!
We also read this book and learned about the history of Halloween.
It was cool to learn that people who lived a long time ago wanted to protect their crops and make sure they had food to eat and only happy spirits would stay!
We also learned about spiders. How they make webs and how they catch bugs to eat.
Then we sang itsy, bitsy, spider!
After circle time, we moved to the table for work and crafts.
Our first project was connecting the dots to make a ghost.
Then we tried to find matching Jack o' Lanterns.
This was a little hard, but if we guided them through it one by one, they did great!
Then we practiced our names on the back and just colored!
Our next fun activity was gluing Jack o' Lantern shapes to make a face on the pumpkin.
It took real concentration!!
We read another book about a ghost who tried to say BOO! They enjoyed saying BOO every time I read it in the story.
Soon it was time to eat our Jack o' Lantern pepperoni pizza....
and lots of other orange snacks!
Some of the moms came for our party and ate a little lunch too!!
We got to decorate pails to take Trick-or-Treating.
They loved putting stickers on them!
Levi got a little creative!
Then the moms helped us change into our costumes.
We had the kids line up down the hall and I had a microphone to announce each child as they came down the hall into the room with the moms.
We all cheered!
Some of the superheros showed off their moves, and the princesses did a little twirl!
Each child felt special!
Snow White, Butterfly, Minnie Mouse, Captain America, Superman, Rapunzel, Ariel, and a Kitty Cat!
They are the cutest!
We ate some more snacks...
Played with the Jack o' Lantern bean bag toss..
And danced to Halloween music!!
Oh, and we also played with our Jack o' Lantern masks!!
It was a fun day!
Happy Halloween!!
