Preschool: Halloween

It was another fun and simple week all focused on Halloween fun.

This week for our first activity I decided that each day we would play a game and so on Tuesday we played Snail Pace Race.

Then for art she created a ghost using white paint and cotton balls.

Then for music we learned a Halloween song which Baylor loved and sang it throughout the week. It goes to the tune of Skip to my Lou- Jack-O-Lantern turn around, Jack-O-Lantern turn around, Jack-O-Lantern turn around, Halloween is coming. Other verses: Black cat run away; little witch fly, fly, fly; and scary ghost hide from me.

For learning time we talked about trick-or-treating and then she did a little costume parade and practiced trick-or-treating. She picked out these three costumes all on her own and then came up to me with her little bucket and said trick or treat and then practice saying thank you after I gave her a piece of candy.

Then to end our day we read one of our favorites, Berenstain Bears.

Wednesday we started off by playing Minnie Mouse Go Fish.

Then for art she created the cutest handprint witch.

We sang a song about witches but it was a little hard for Baylor. Then for learning time we started off by playing I Spy How Many in the witch's cauldron. I had different small items and then she counted each different item.

Then we did a science experiment and she created her own witches potions. I put some baking soda into some small bowls and then she added a few drops of food coloring to each one and then she got to pour in the vinegar to create her "potions".

Thursday we started off by playing Spot It.

Then she for art she created a jack-o-lantern by tearing up small pieces of orange paper and gluing them into a circle and then she added the face once it dried.

We reviewed the songs from the last two days for music.

Then for learning time first we did a pumpkin experiment. She told me whether her pumpkin was small or big. I asked her if she thought her pumpkin would float or sink and she thought it would float and we tested it our and she was right. Then she guessed how many seeds were in her small pumpkin and she guessed 5 and so we cut it open and counted them and there was over 30. We talked about the color of her pumpkin and if it was smooth or rough. 

Then she did a pumpkin letter matching activity.

She then did some pumpkin bowling and then we ended with reading some Halloween books we got from the library yesterday.
