Halloween Fun and the Color Brown

Our older class today practiced patterns, using fall and Halloween pictures. We colored the correct picture that came next in the patten that was made. Then we colored a Haunted Halloween house, cut out the windows and doors and glued them in the correct places on the house.

We talked about Halloween today. We looked at some fun/scary pictures of a witch, Frankenstein, vampire, monster, bats, ghost, mummy, etc. We talked about how on Halloween people like to trick their friends by dressing up and trying to scare them. We talked about how these things were NOT real and made to be fun and pretend.

We read a funny book called, "Monsterville's Halloween Party". Instead of dressing up scary for Halloween, they dressed up like humans. They thought that was scary.

We talked about bats. They come out at night and sleep during the day, and that's why sometimes they seem scary, but they really aren't that scary. We read that they like to eat fruit and small bugs and insects. And most surprising was, most bats are BROWN.
We made our very own bat to take home, and used our small fingers to peel and stick big white circle eyes to our bats.

We and recited the poem Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Each of us picked a colored animal to hold up when our part of the poem came up.
