HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

We continued to explore our sense of touch...

Ask your little pumpkin if our class pumpkin was heavy or light!!

Ask them to tell you what was inside our pumpkin!!!

Meet our Jack-o-Lantern!!!  Ask your little goblin what its name is!!!

e is for egg!  Did you know that spiders come out of eggs too???

"Silly Dance Contests" continue to be fan favorites!!

This is the "sort" of fun we love to have have!

Halloween Snack Time Fun

Our Halloween Party was SO MUCH FUN!!

Our craft was sooooo coooool!!!!

Weekly Recap:  We had such a "Spooktacular" week in PreK-3!!!  We loved exploring our class pumpkin before carving it together.  Our little pumpkins just loved feeling and pulling out all the pumpkin innards!!  Spiders were so creepy to learn about but we really LOVED wearing our spider hats!  Hope our PreK-3 families didn't get too scared seeing their little creepy crawlers walking through their homes!!

Our Halloween Party was so much fun!  Thank you so much to everyone for donating goodies for our awesome goodie bags.  And a great BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Selser and Mrs. O'Brien for all their hard work putting together a wonderful party and organizing our goodie bags too!
