Believe it or not, my class was actually wonderful on the day of the party! I was expecting them to be overly excited and loud, but they were just perfectly lovely!
In the morning we worked on a reading adaptation of Brown bear, brown bear, but I changed it to Green witch, green witch what do you see? There were blanks for the kids to fill in the missing parts of the book, mostly sight words and colours. The children picked up on the pattern quickly! I saw some good, focused workers!
When they finished they had to come and read it to me!
We have a child sized skeleton puzzle in our free choice area. These boys discovered how to put it together and then decided to compare their bodies to the skeleton to figure out where their bones were! It was neat to watch them!
Earlier in the week we worked on our number printing and counting skills, with a haunted house project and some spooky stickers! It was LOTS of fun!
First we had to outline the house shape with a white crayon so the house looked extra spooky, then we chose our stickers. We were only allowed to choose 10 stickers total, but they could be in ANY combination. We chose from bats, ghosts, cats and pumpkins.
There were so many skills in this ONE activity! There was fine motor, because they had to peel the back off of the stickers! There was counting, reading and printing! ALOT!
Sight word SKELETONS!
This was a fun activity AND it practised sight words! The children first had to cut out their skeleton's parts and then add in his eyeballs and any other details they wanted. Then they needed to build the skeleton by putting him/her together with paper fasteners. Then they had to write the sight words they are working on, on the skeleton's bones!
They turned out so adorable! And the kids were so excited that I let them take them home!
Here is a little skeleton "diving" out of a chair pocket! I thought it looked so funny!
