Halloween

Happy Halloween!

We have been very excited to celebrate Halloween! Everyone was looking forward to wearing their costumes and seeing what their friends were coming dressed up as.

We were a busy group this week! Below are the our activities;
-Searching for creepy crawlers in a cauldron of green noodles. Then sorted them by type, identified colours, and identified beginning letter sounds.
-Human spider web.
-More pumpkin scooping and carving
-Puking pumpkins
-Coloured pumpkin seed art.
-Cotton ball ghost painting
-Play dough bone dig
-Salt and watercolour spiderweb web science/art
-Find the Bat under the Hat game (colours and rhyming)
-Witch potion making. Materials included a syringe, spoon, mini cauldrons, mini bones/bats/spiders, and baking soda/vinegar. They were having such a fun time that this activity lasted about an hour and a half!!
-Pumpkin number counting, number identification and matching number words.
-Halloween number puzzles

Our letters this week were G and S. The kids practiced writing them, built a skeleton and drew a ghost in their journals to represent the letters.

We also enjoyed exploring areas of the ravine we haven't spent much time in; finding a huge rock to climb and jump off of, a mini forest to walk through, hills to climb and slide, and water/ice/snow to play in.
