Emma Claire had lots of fun exploring our pumpkin this morning. She was so excited about sticking her hand inside to feel all the slimy insides! She got a big fistful of seeds to put in our bowl! It was all so exciting!
Class notes...
The Rock Stars had a great day! The sun was shining and it was a most beautiful fall day! We are having a wonderful week learning about Pumpkins and Halloween. We spent the morning making Jack-O-Lanterns in art and at science time. We had fun talking about what makes a pumpkin a Jack-O-Lantern and how it only takes making a face! We got out the glitter paints and some foam shapes and created our own unique looking Jack-O-Lanterns. Some of us had triangle faces or circle faces or diamond faces! We had to talk about what kind of features we have on our own faces before we could put together our art projects.
Then we got our big orange pumpkin out and sat on the floor to explore its insides and outsides. We talked about the color of its skin and how smooth it felt. Then Teacher Rachel got out a knife cut off the top of it so we could look inside! We saw lots of pumpkin seeds and some slimy goop. We all got a chance to feel it and stick our hands inside the pumpkin. Then we turned it into a Jack-O-Lantern by carving a face into it! We had fun trying to decide how we wanted it to look. We made a happy looking Jack-O-Lantern!
At circle time today we read Trick or Treat Calico and My First Halloween. We also got out a flannel story and sang a song about a Jack-O-Lantern. We also sang our new favorite Halloween song, "The ghosts in the Haunted House". It was a very good circle time!
We are saying goodbye to our friend Ava C. today. She is going to move back home with her daddy who doesn't live in the metro area. We know she is very excited about it! The Rock Stars and her teachers are going to miss her very much and will keep Ava and her family in their thoughts and prayers.
Have a wonderful night!
