We had so much fun creating spooky art this week! The Ladybugs found eyes 👀 on our easel paper and drew monsters, friends, pumpkins and more. We practiced scissor skills as we cut paper & tape “bandages” to wrap mummies. On Friday we made scratch art spiderwebs, too. Our Tuesday Ladybugs painted their pumpkins this week. Each one was special & unique!
We did some math work as we measured monsters using snap cubes and pompoms. We lined them up across the monsters, counted each item and found the matching numbers to add to the monster’s card.
I think the children’s favorite activity this week was listening (again & again) to the story Big Pumpkin!! You can listen to the story being told on YouTube. The kids love the voices so much. We retold the story using picture cards.

We also really enjoyed singing & acting out Mister Kipley’s “We’re Going on a Monster Hunt”
We are so grateful to the Chapel Hill firefighters for taking time out of their day to teach us about their gear and truck. Everyone got an up-close look at what firefighters would be wearing if they needed to come into your home. Hopefully this will never be necessary, but the children learned their uniforms are like that to help them breathe and keep them safe. They even showed us the tools in their truck and let us sit inside it! It was an exciting day
Halloween celebrations:
We will have a costume parade with the Frogs class through Ascension Hall on October 30th & 31st shortly after dropoff. Please stay a few minutes to watch, cheer and take photos! Our class will celebrate Halloween with a party in the classroom afterwards thanks to the wonderful organizing help from our room reps. You should have received an email from them about any help they may need gathering supplies for the party.
**It is best to put your child’s costume over their school clothes, so that we can easily take it off when they’re ready. Most children usually want to shed them to play more comfortably. If that is not possible, please stay for a moment after the parade to help your child change. Thanks!
We will have school spirit days on Nov. 6th & 7th. Wear your school shirt or something RED.
Have a wonderful weekend with your little Ladybugs!!
