Remember: Pledge envelopes for the Read-a-thon are due tomorrow. Be sure to put that white envelope in your child's bag to bring to school tomorrow!
Today was full of excitement. For starters, we had our annual Kindergarten Scarecrow Parade. Here is a slideshow of our parade:
When we got back to the classroom, we made a Witches Brew snack. We added things like "bat wings" (fritos), and "skeleton teeth" (marshmallows). It was super delicious and there is plenty leftover to have for tomorrow's snack too!
We had four different Halloween centers today. We made a book called, "Green Witch, Green Witch." We graphed candy corn and candy pumpkins. We played with pumpkin pie play dough-which smelled delicious! Finally, we made rip art pumpkins with shiny jack-o-lantern faces. There were so many pictures, I out them into a slide show as well:
This afternoon we final got to be the illustrators for the Backwards Alphabet Halloween Book. We have been singing this song for several weeks and looking at pictures that were drawn by last year's kindergarteners. Today, we had our turn to draw the illustrations and now our book will take the place of last years! We were super excited!!! Here are a couple example pages. The entire book will be available to view at conferences in the upcoming weeks.
Had to get a shot of this. Our friend Jesse read some Sponge Bob books to his friends at choice time :)
Jesse was also the weekly winner for the Read-a-thon drawing! Congratulations!
Tomorrow there will be a drawing of the white envelopes for a pillow pet! Get those envelopes in!
See you in the morning!
Love,
