October  24 - 27

Dear Kindergarten Families,

Thank you to everyone who donated a pumpkin.  We have had lots of fun carving and digging out pumpkin "guts".  We have used word like"slimy, sticky, ooey, gooey, stinking, sweet, stringy, bumpy, heavy, light, scary, funny, happy, creepy and many other descriptive words to tell about our experience as we designed faces and cleaned out each pumpkin.  We had lots of orange hands!

This week in Kindergarten we had some Halloween centres to explore.  We also did some pumpkin carving and some Halloween Stations.  Our house centre was changed into a Halloween store that gave out candy.  We had to ring the doorbell and then roll a dice to determine how much candy we would get in our trick or treat bags.  We counted out pompoms for candy.  We made witch's brew with spiders, worms, bats and creepy crawlers.  The recipe was printed out and we had to find the objects to put into the pot.  

Stations: We will continue these stations next week too because we had a short week this week.

I can learn how to count Halloween pictures and find the numeral and practice writing the numeral in my counting booklet.

I can follow directions and colour a jack o'lantern.

I can use wikki stix to spell Halloween words.

We were working on the letter "F" this week. 

I can practice writing the letter "Ff".

I can draw a picture in my journal that starts with the letter "Ff".

** Tomorrow the students are invited to wear their costumes to school.  We will have a parade in the gym to show our costumes to the entire school.  If you choose not to wear a costume you are welcome to wear black and orange or come to school just the way you are.**. We are excited to see everyone at school tomorrow. ** 

Our sweet Educational Assistant Charlie will not be with us and we would like to thank her for her kindness and care over the last seven weeks of school.
