Weekly Update

As you already know, we had a Halloween party at school on Thursday. I have never seen such cute and creative costumes! We had everything from cowgirls to puppies and kitties, princesses to dragons, transformers to Thomas the Train, superheroes to storybook characters, and much more! I hope your kids had fun at the Halloween party...I think they did.

In case they your kids didn't tell you, here is what we did last week:
Tuesday: The kids were introduced to the letter 'E'. The kids did their 'E' alphabet page, and got to glue cut-up pieces of envelopes to their capital letter 'E' and their lower-case letter 'e'. We read the book "Ten Timid Ghosts" and then made our own ten timid ghosts on a piece of paper. Not only was this fun for the kids, but it provided an opportunity to practice our counting! The kids also turned pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns by gluing on eyes, a nose, and a mouth. They were practicing naming shapes in this activity, and probably didn't even realize it!

Thursday: As I already mentioned, we had our Halloween party on Thursday. We made flying ghosts out of paper and streamers, played pin the stem on the pumpkin, and had a costume parade (which I thought was cute!). I hope your kids had fun!
