Halloween

This week our theme was “Halloween”.  The children made jack-o-lantern windsocks, ghost feet, a cookie cutter painting and finger-painted jack-o-lanterns!  We continued to work on name printing, matching, shapes, following directions, cutting and counting.  Our letter for the week was Mm.

Next week our theme will continue to be “Halloween”.  The children will be making glitter bats & spider hands.  We will also begin learning the numbers starting with the number 1 and our letter for the week will be Jj.  On Wed. & Thurs. we will have our Halloween Party!  The children will help me scoop out and carve a pumpkin, play games and trick-or-treat in the classroom!  Remember that your child should bring their costume to school that day.  It would be a good idea to have them practice getting their costume on at home so they are able to get dressed easily at school.  Be sure to write your child’s name on his/her bag of treats to be handed out during the party to avoid confusion.

 Reminders & Updates:

*Halloween party: Oct. 29^th or 30^th.  Please remember that all treats must be wrapped/store bought (we will not have time to eat everything), you child should be able to put their costume on over their clothes (by themselves) and no weapons or face paint are allowed.

*Early Release: Tuesday, Nov. 25^th.  Please be sure to send a note if your child needs to go somewhere other then their normal drop off point.
