HALLOWEEN!

Spooktacular Halloween!

We began our Halloween adventures making some 'ghost seekers'. The students are learning to use recycled materials to create toys. 

We didn't have any orange paint but not to worry, we learned that if we mix red and yellow together we can make orange paint! Super COOL! 

Then things got real witchy! We created witches, and we also cooked up some spells in our witches cauldron. 

Take notice our spells contained beginning sounds, /t/, /w/, and /j/   

Can you spy the Kindergarten rock art? This is one of the rocks that a Kindergartner and their Gr.6 Buddy created and hid together. 

First the students painted their rocks and then we went on a walk to the playground to hide them. 

A spider is also a symbol of Halloween. We completed a tally chart with the question, "Are you afraid of spiders?" 

The students had to read the words Yes and No, then decide on their answer. Most students were not afraid of spiders. 

A special guest dropped off some gourds for our class. The students got to take a gourd home for Halloween. We drew pictures, sorted, and counted the gourds. 

A pile is VERY difficult to count..... so....

we learned that putting items in a line can really help us count! 

Some extras...

A student in another kindergarten class brought in their chickens and quails to visit our school. Luckily, we got to hang out with them too! 

We also found  a little squirrel dumpster diving!
