All You Need For a Snowman
We had fun making snowmen this year. After reading All You Need For a Snowman We went outside looking for things we could use to dress and decorate our snowmen. We were really creative. :)
Mr. Qq and Miss Uu are getting married!
We giggled our way through a wedding this year in preschool. Mr. Q and Miss U got married! How many words can you think of that begin with /qu/?
Halloween Crafts & Party
Flashback to October! One of my most favorite months in school!
This October we had fun learning our letters are creating Halloween crafts to go along.
Ww- we made witches using dried apple heads and empty thread cones. For hair we cut strips of paper and folded or curled them. To cover and decorate the 'dress' we tore paper and glued it on. It took some patience but they turned out super cute!
Bb- We made black bats.
Vv- We made paper plate vampires.
PP- We estimated how many seeds were in a pumpkin.
Jj- We carved our pumpkin and counted the seeds.
Gg- We used 1 sheet of white paper and a small piece of black and made ghosts. The bottoms were all different. Some folded, some curled and some left them straight. We loved seeing these hanging throughought the month.
For our Halloween Party one of our dads came and played some really fun games with us.

We had a donut eating contest. Hey! No hands!
October was a fun month filled with awesome art projects, scarey stories and songs, and great activities.
Groundhog's Shadow
For groundhod day we studied shadows. We had a great time learning about nighttime and daystime and how the sun affects shadows.
We started by talking about daytime and nighttime and what kinds of activities we do during each. We worked together to sort pictures into daytime and nighttime. We had to add a "both" catagory when we decided that some activities are things we do in both daytime and nighttime.
We took a short break to go outside (thankfully the sun was shining) to trace a friend's shadow. Our friend had to hold very still while we traced his shadow.
Back inside we closed the blinds and got out flashlights to study how shadows can change and move. 15 minutes later we went back outside to trace our friend's shadow again. He put his feet in the same place as before and struck the same pose while we traced his shadow. Guess what! It MOVED!!!
Wednesday's activities extended into Friday (today). In our centers be were able to play with flashlights and make shadows using various classroom items and small toys. We then helped each other trace these shadows onto white paper to be used later to guess what made the shadow.
