Trick or Treat

"H" is for Halloween fun at Preschool!  We had fun dressing up in costumes, making Halloween pictures and Trick-or-Treating upstairs in the Middle School office and 8th grade classrooms. 

Pumpkin Exploration

Exploring the inside of a pumpkin at school.  When we opened it up, we found seeds and "wet, slimy stuff" (pulp).  Some of the students liked how the inside felt and some did not - but everyone gave it a try!  The seeds were fun to pull out and count.  

Shoe Stew

We made Halloween Shoe Stew!  We are practicing matching and sorting.  Everyone put their shoes into a big pot and we mixed them up.  After our stew was mixed, we dumped it out and had to find our shoe matches.  Once the matches were found, we practiced putting them on independently and on the correct feet!  Afterwards, some cute witches and wizards tested out the cauldron!

Pumpkin Farm

Our visit to the pumpkin farm was so much fun - even though the weather wasn't cooperating for us.  It was cold and very windy, but we were able to ride on a BIG school bus, which may have been the best part of our trip!

We went on a bumpy hayride around the pumpkin patch, had a chance to ride on a pony, milk a cow and hold kittens that were only a couple of weeks old.  All of the children and parents had the opportunity to pick out their very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch to take home!
