FALL FUN!

Halloween, spiders, bats, and lots of leaf activities comprised our last two weeks of school. These guys enjoy doing their arts and crafts, but are more than willing to exercise and dance to the music. Note their intense faces as they work and play in the pictures.



Teamwork is the best.


All of us can put the numbers 0-10 in order and Mrs. Angela is so very proud of us.


We learned a big word this week. It was estimation or to guess. We guessed how many leaves we picked out of a basket in one hand, and then we had to really count them. We sure have some big hands and counted in groups of tens.


The boys got quite a surprise when we lifted the painted leaves off the paper. They did turn out fantastic.


Instead of using paintbrushes to make the leaves on our trees, we used pencil erasers and dipped them in fall colors.


Multitasking ----raking the leaves and playing the guitar.


And the race was on........who could blow the tissue paper leaf to the finish line????




He said, "It's a fall picture." I said, "That's amazing."


Leaf dancers we called them. We danced to fast and slow classical music. I bet you can guess which one we liked the best.


Matching capitals and lower case letters was an easy task for us.





Play dough is excellent for developing fine motor skills or in this case making creepy crawling spiders.





The finished product. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We created our own spider webs and put the spider in it.




We learned a lot of facts about spiders, especially that they are helpful to us.


We had to continue the pattern with bats and owls and stars and other "nocturnal" creatures we were learning about.


Pumpkin bingo with candy corn for markers. Yummy.




The perfect Halloween activity was making the scariest monster ever.



I'm not sure which they enjoyed more -the icing cookies or eating them?
