Monsters, Spiders & Candy Corn…oh my!

We had a fun week getting ready for Halloween! We painted monsters with giant wiggly eyes on the easel, created spiders & monsters with playdough, and used tissue to make candy corn. The Duck class even made us a candy corn garland to decorate our door. We are thinking of a way to return their kindness- possibly making something for them for Thanksgiving!

In our sensory table, we hunted for spiders and matched the number of spiders in the web to the numerals on the wall. And at circle time we sang The Spooky Wheels on the Bus and Old Macdonald Had a Haunted House. We helped build a monster as we read Go Away Big Green Monster and we played a jack-o-lantern matching game, too.

We really had the best time decorating our pumpkins this week!! Everyone was very creative. Thank you for sending pumpkins for us 🎃

On Wednesday we were super excited to meet the firefighters and go in their truck! They showed us all their tools and reminded us to practice fire drills at home, too.

We also celebrated Lucy’s 4th birthday on Monday. Happy Birthday, Lucy!!! Lucy brought cupcakes to share, and mom read one of Lucy’s favorite books. Many Ladybugs gave Lucy birthday hugs ❤️❤️ It was the sweetest thing ever!

We invite parents to come see our halloween parade at 9:15 on monday & tuesday next week!!

Please dress your child in their costume with clothes underneath. Children are welcome to wear their costumes for our classroom party after the parade, but they may want to take them off later. If you prefer your child take the costume off before we eat, please help them change at the end of the parade.

The weather will be cooler next week- make sure your child’s extra clothes are updated and send a jacket or sweater for the playground, please.

Enjoy this weekend’s warm weather with your Ladybug!!
