Halloween is in the air! The kindergarteners have been working hard this week. On Monday, Olive the storyteller visited and told us some wonderful Halloween stories. The boys and girls especially love saying the Five Little Pumpkins poem from this week. We also had a great time visiting the school wide bake sale. Thank you for bringing cookies to sell!
In Language Arts, the students tried their luck in a game of Pumpkin Boo. They took turns drawing letter cards out of a jack-o-lantern, and writing words that start with that letter. The kindergarteners also learned some interesting facts about bats this week. They each wrote their very own "bat fact" and decorated paper bats in the classroom. October is national "Apple Month", and the students took turns exploring the parts of the apple with Ms. Haas. They even tasted different types of apples, and compared them. The boys and girls are very excited about Halloween, and they took time discussing their costumes in their table groups. Then, they had a chance to draw and write what they were going to be. It was very fun to find out what costume each student will be wearing!
We have been practicing how to write our numbers in Math. The students have been making sure that their numbers are facing in the right direction, and are written in correct form. They also have learned some new Halloween songs about witches and jack-o-lanterns, so you can ask your child to sing you a tune or two. In Art, the boys and girls have been creating a multitude of Halloween projects. The students made fingerprint spiders and little trick-or-treaters for our bulletin boards. They did a great job. Please come in and check them out! Also, they made ghost wind socks to hang up at the kindergarten booth for the Halloween Carnival this weekend. They are very spooky!
Just a reminder: Monday, October 24 is a minimum day.
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
