Halloween (Week 1)

This week our theme was “Halloween”.  The children made jack-o-lantern windsocks, ghost feet, a cookie cutter painting and got to finger-paint huge jack-o-lanterns!  We continued to work on name printing, matching, shapes, following directions, cutting and counting.  Our letter for the week was Mm and we learned about the number 1.

 

Next week our theme will continue to be “Halloween”.  The children will be making glitter bats & spider hands.  Our letter for the week will be Jj and we fill focus on the number 2.  On Mon. & Tues. we will be mixing up our “Witch’s Stew” and 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.  (Being able to get into their costumes on their own will allow us more time for fun and games).  Be sure to write your child’s name on his/her bag of treats to be handed out during the party to avoid confusion.
