Week of October 31, 2022

BOO!!

Did our little spiders scare you?

When it rains and rains outside... we play and play inside!!

Sometimes we play so hard that we have to pretend rest!

We had so much fun exploring our sense of touch this week!

We got messy but had so much fun!

We also loved using our hands to explore our sensory bowls!  Ask your little explorer what they found inside!

Finger painting with our Five Day Friends was so much fun!

We used our sense of touch to explore our classroom pumpkin too!

Ask your little scientist all about it!

Some of us were braver than others when it came to touching the inside of our pumpkin.  Ask your little one if they helped scoop out the seeds and pulp!!

We made special "What's Inside My Pumpkin" Books!  And EVERYONE was brave enough to touch real pumpkin seeds to make their books!

We did so well with our Letter Games!

We made the color ORANGE by mixing two colors together.  Ask your artist which two colors we used!

Our masterpieces are now on display in our Learning Center Hallway Gallery!

Zoom in on the bottom right of each pumpkin to identify your little one's masterpiece!

Our Five Day Friends worked on their sorting and identifying skills this week!

And they did so well on their Halloween Alphabet Puzzles too!

Playing SCHOOL IS THE BEST!!!

EEEEKKKK!!!

Making our Spiders was AMAZING!!

Ask your little scientist how many legs spiders have... as well as up to how many eyes they can have!!

SO FUN!!

Preschool Friends are Fabulous!

Halloween/Orange Show and Tell was such a BIG HIT!

Playing outside is SO MUCH FUN!

We LOVED making Jack the Jack-o-Lantern!  He's hanging out in our classroom!
