Halloween (Week 2)

This week our theme was “Halloween”.  We learned about the letter Jj and the number 1.  We made a glitter bat and spider hands as we continued to practice colors and counting.  On Mon. & Tues. we mixed up and enjoyed our “Witches Stew”!  On Wed. & Thurs. we had our Halloween Party!  The children helped me scoop out and carve a pumpkin, we played games and went “trick-or-treating” in the classroom!
Next week our theme will be “Nighttime”.  We will be talking about things that we do at night, animals that come out at night and learn a little bit about outer space.  The children will make a rocket, an owl, a nighttime painting and a classroom book about nighttime activities.  On Wednesday/Thursday we will have pajama day in pre-k (November 4th & 5th).  Our letter for the week will be Kk and we will learn about the number 2.
