This week was a little different. We switched our specials to Monday & Tuesday, so that we could spend Wednesday & Thursday celebrating Halloween. The Ladybugs rolled with it. Now that they’re accustomed to all our routines in the classroom, they are becoming more flexible! We always have our class schedule (with pictures) posted in our circle area, and some really like to check it daily to see what the plan is for the day! You can try the same at home, if your child is struggling with change and transitions.
The Ladybugs had such a fun, exciting week! We continued to practice counting using dice and counting out monster eyes, as well as finding the spiders in our sensory table to match the numbers on the wall. We used our cutting skills to cut more streamers in the bin, too. At our art table we squeezed mini Elmer’s glue bottles and practiced making dots of glue as we created candy corn pictures.
On Tuesday we had a special visit from Wren M.’s mom. She read There’s a Monster in My Book and brought cool “whoa dough” (found in Target, if you want to try it) to make monsters! Thanks you Taylor!!
We want to thank all of our parents for cheering us on as we paraded in our costumes and for making the day special with treats, crafts and games. You are awesome! We had such spooky snacks- mummy wrapped applesauce & jack-o-lantern clementines were a couple of the favorites along with spider cupcakes and pumpkin rice crispy treats (some were wary of eating a leaf!! but happy to find it was really just candy🤣). Everyone loved decorating masks, and we even did some bowling, too.
Our Friday Ladybugs got a special treat of exploring and playing in the Whales class for a bit. After we all had a turn telling about our Halloween trick or treating & our favorite candy (they all agreed that their favorite was “ALL OF IT!!!!!!”), we made a Skittles rainbow!! Some cool observations were made. Go watch the video posted in our Google album!
In November we will be celebrating Autumn truly, finally coming to NC. We’d love to see what treasures your child finds outside- leaves, acorns, twigs- bring your signs of Fall to show at circle time! We will be learning about forest animals and Thanksgiving in November, as well.
We will have school spirit days on Nov. 6th & 7th. Wear your school shirt or something RED.
School is closed on Monday, Nov. 11th for Veteran’s Day and again Nov.27-29 for Thanksgiving.
Have a wonderful weekend with your little Ladybugs!!
