Happy Halloween! We trick or treated at the courthouse. It was so much fun! Thanks to all families that were able to help us go on this field trip.  When we returned to school we played pumpkin bowling, read Halloween books, sang and danced to "Five Little Pumpkins", when on a numbered ghost walk, we also did Halloween puzzles and had spooky sack lunches! It was spook-tacular!

Guess what we did today?  We explored a witch face sensory bag and sang "Three Little Witches", then read Skeletons Hiccups121. We sit in a circle and  rolled pumpkins to each other. This helps build our turn taking and sharing skills. It was an awesome day!

Today we sang the "Spider Song"  with Popsicle sticks and a spider on the end, we made the spiders crawl on our heads, toes and noses etc. along with the song. We counted bugs as we dished them into trays with tongs. Our class read Mouse's First Halloween.  We also carved a pumpkin! Most of our toddlers loved getting their hands into the pumpkin guts. We had a wonderful day! 

Our classroom is celebrating Halloween this week. Our lessons will pertain to Halloween and the color of the week which is Green! We made tissue  paper ghost, sang "Pumpkin Pumpkin On The Ground" and read Duck and Goose Find a Pumpkin. We also planted individual Spider Plants to take home and a big one for our classroom. 

Today we read Does A Cat Wear Glasses and Sang "Five Little Raccoons". We made our very own owls by gluing ribbon, feathers, beaks and googly eyes to a paper towel tube. We sorted shapes links, we also explored different shapes around our room.  

Today we made patterns with the moon and sun. We sponge painted the moon and hand painted bats. We sang "Late at Night" and read Bean's Night. We hopped like crickets on bubble wrap, although some of the toddlers didn't like  the popping sound. Our class also sorted diurnal(day) and nocturnal(night)animals. We had a great day! 

    

                                 

Today we read The Best Nest and sang "Mr Alligator". We explored water beads with lights inside, all of toddlers loved getting their hands in the tub of beads. We explored with Legos taking apart and putting together, this with cognitive development and playing together. We revisited our bat cave! It is a big hit with the toddler kiddos!
