HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Thank you to all of the parents who helped
out or joined our party this afternoon!
The cuties (and Aidah and I!) had a blast! Thanks to Priyanka and Carolyn for all of
their hard work in planning and organizing.
It was another fun week in the
Pre K yellow starfish class….lots of PPPPPPPumpkin and Halloween activities!!!
This week we…
*learned the sound, letter
formation, and hand motion for the letter Pp.
*brainstormed word that
started with or contained Pp and wrote them/drew them in our alphabet journals.
*added purple and pink
pieces of paper for our feely letter Pp.
*we explored our
pumpkin—rolled it, talked about what might be inside, how tall/heavy it was,
measured it, drew it….and then cut it open to explore some more! There were a lot of “wonderings” going on,
and I think it might continue for awhile!
Our cuties were VERY interested in this pumpkin!
*estimated and counted the
number of pumpkin seeds there would be in our big orange pumpkin!
*Painted symmetrical
pumpkins and decorated them with a spooky Halloween scene.
*Created and copied patterns
using Halloween characters
*ordered pumpkins from
smallest to biggest
*Read a nonfiction book
about pumpkins and sequenced pictures of the lifecycle of a pumpkin. (We will
continue this next week J)
*learned the song Pumpkin
Man and decorated the song sheet. A copy
of the song will come be in the Poems and Songs book. (I will send the Poems
and Songs book home next Friday—I thought today would be a little too crazy J)
*Made a caterpillar out of
circles, and wrote how “many circles long” their caterpillar was.
*played a listening game
with jack-o-lanterns (tried to find different shapes for eyes….)
*Played a “draw a pig” game
where they added different parts of the body to a pig depending on what number
they rolled on the dice.
*Decorated a 5 Little
Pumpkins page for our room.
* Made pumpkins to hang
from the ceiling—lots of cutting involved and our cuties did a wonderful job!
* we were GOING to draw the
Pigeon from Mo Willems’ books, but we ran out of time so we will do that next
week!
The Little Orange House
This week, I told the
students the story of the LITTLE ORANGE HOUSE. They loved it so much they
wanted to show you. There was a copy in
the zippy pouch on wed—the story requires adult help---have fun!
