Halloween

Today for preschool we did some fun Halloween activities, and the boys got to dress up. J & K were Teenage mutant ninja turtles, P was a cowboy, G was Batman, E was Buzz Lightyear, and E's little brother D was a ninja.

First when the boys got here, we did a big alphabet puzzle, the boys new all there letters and sounds.

We played pin the face on the Jack-O-Lantern. Some of the boys put on a mouth, nose or eyes.

We had yummy Halloween cupcakes for a snack.

They all did a maze worksheet. They all made it through the maze very quickly. :)

We played a little game where they passed around a pumpkin with crayons inside, they passed it around the circle to music, when the music stopped, the boy who had the pumpkin picked out a crayon and said what color it was, they played it about 3 times before they got bored.

We talked about some safety rules for Trick-or-Treating. Some of the things the boys said were, always go with an adult, visit houses with lights on, stay outside, carry a flashlight or other light with you, have mom and dad check candy before eating it, look both ways before you cross the street. After we were done talking about safety, the boys stood in a circle and took turns saying trick-or-treat and thank you, and passing out their little treats.

Halloween

(W's description of Halloween preschool at her house!)

Today was a SUPER FUN day at Preschool!  We had special visitors come for the day.  It was a lot of hard work, mainly by the mommies, to arrange for these visitors to come dressed in their best attire.  The visitors were:  Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Tigger, Lightening McQueen, a Pirate and Peter Pan.  We were so excited they would spend the day at Blue Preschool with us.  

The guests were happy to learn about the letter H, the color purple, the number 5 and the crescent shape.  We think the crescent shape was their favorite part of the lesson because it can look like the moon, a happy face or a sad face.  Peter Pan helped count how many more days until Halloween (5).  Our Pirate led the pledge of allegiance while Woody held the flag.  Lightening McQueen observed the weather and told us it would be a sunny but cold day.  Tigger pointed out that there were clouds outside as well.  Good team work!

Next we learned what “5 Little Pumpkins” did while sitting on a gate.  Our guests decided to draw a picture about that story on purple paper with the help of chalk and orange pumpkin colored stamps.  They of course had to draw themselves in the pictures as well.  After some singing and dancing and some yummy pumpkin shaped cheese, crackers and raisins to make jack-o-lantern faces, we took a break with some free play time.  Our guests LOVED the hot wheels cars and played nicely together, just as we hoped they would!

Then the mommies came to preschool early to watch our guests practice how to safely go trick or treating.  They each had a turn to go around the circle and say “trick or treat”.  Each of our guests brought a treat or prize to share with their friends.  They all had a wonderful time together.  The mommies were very proud of their little ones and had big smiles to show it!  We feel that each of our guests had a very special day and can’t wait to show what they have learned at preschool this Halloween.    Love you, Miss W
