Halloween Week

This week our centers were Halloween themed! Take a look at all of the fun activities we did.

Be on the look-out for this super fun book. When you see this book come home with your child, ask them to tell you the story of the chocolate chip ghost! This is a great oral comprehension activity as well as a great opportunity for your children to practice re-telling a story.

They did an amazing job with our long a/short a sort . This was a great activity to teach them to listen for the sound in the middle of a word.  This week, the students learned about "magic" or "silent e" and the cool trick it can do to a word! Ask your child to tell you about "magic e". 

This was a fun pumpkin book where students explored emotions while practicing reading.  On each page "Jack" had a different emotion. The students practiced making the face to match the emotion and then drew a picture of a pumpkin expressing that emotion. In doing this book, they also discovered that our sight word "you" and our short vowel sound "a" as well as the long vowel "a" were hiding in the pages!

Remember "Brown Bear, Brown Bear"? Well, this is our Halloween spin on that classic story. On each page, the students discovered many sight words and were able to practice reading this "frighteningly" repetitious book.

We studied our bones! The students engaged in conversation discussing how many bones they thought they had. They were surprised at their findings!

After learning about their bones, the students made these noodle skeletons!

Finally, they played a game of "Memory" with animals bones. So much fun to be had this week!
