We had a short week but managed to get in a lot of activity!  The children found new and interesting Halloween items in their classroom this week, including bats and spiders and more pumpkins. Notice anything different about our clock? The children did!

 

 

 

The children will be doing a project this week that requires a yellow moon, so they did some yellow painting.  For extra fun, one of my friends decided to paint an abstract and his story was quite unique, as was his art!

 

 

Some random pictures of the children at play.  Some great examples of "parallel" play.

 

Some independent play.

 

And cooperative play!  :)

 

 

 

With this art project, we even got to taste candy corn :)



 

 

The children have also been working on a special Auction project. More info to come from the Auction committee on these projects, but here is a sneak peak. :)

 

 



 



We read "Go Away Big Green Monster" this week. The children enjoyed retelling the story.

 

Making a Jack-O-Lantern and finding a new home for the dinosaurs!

 

Dress up fun. Practicing for Halloween?

 

Enjoying a good book or two.  :)

 

Painting orange.

Team work. They were building a road to walk on.

And then they decided to eat!  :)

 

 

The children enjoyed The Gingerbread Boy, a play presented by Timeless Tale Theater.

 

 

 

Looking forward to a great week. Hope to see you all on Monday!

 

 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week we started working on painting and drawing at the easel.  This is a different approach to art and requires more arm movement.  I think the children enjoyed it!  They worked on painting orange for pumpkins and black for cats.  I brought in a pumpkin for them to touch and see.  We have been reading pumpkin books.
