Monday October, 27th Our Preschool class spent the day talking about HALLOWEEN! We talked about why we trick-or-treat, "To get Candy" was the common response. I glazed over that long ago people would give out treats to pretend witches, and ghosts and monsters, so they wouldn't play tricks on them. We talked about pumpkins turning into jack-o-lanterns, and how it becomes a "lantern" when a candle is put into them, this is how they would walk around at night, long ago, however, now we use flashlights, but we still like to carve pumpkins and set them out on our porches. We made ghost out of glue, water, and Muslim. (I had a couple of boys who did not want to touch the gluey paste, I thought was pretty funny considering all the other things they could be afraid of.) We read many Halloween stories, " The Runaway Pumpkin", by, Kevin Lewis. We're Going On A Ghost Hunt", by, Marica Vaughan. And "The Friendly Monsters", by Marcus Pfister.
Halloween Party
Our Highlight of the week of course was our Halloween Party!! Dressing up is always fun. We played Halloween Games, Colored a BIG Frankenstein, had Orange floats, took turns "trick-or-treating" and best of all we got to ride on a tractor bed loaded with bales of hay to sit on. We rode to a pumpkin patch to pick out our very own pumpkin to take home.
