Last week we read several spooky stories to get us in the Halloween mindset. The students loved being "scared" by the stories, especially the ones that had a surprise element. We read several more than once.
This was one of our particular favorites, but we read it with quite a bit more drama, lol.

| Our day goes on "business as usual" on Halloween-we're used to wearing costumes ! |
This week, once the Halloween festivities were over, we began talking about creepy, crawly spiders.
We have learned how many eyes, legs, and body parts spiders have, what different sizes of spiders exist (some are as big as a dinner plate and can eat a bird!), and how spiders camouflage themselves.
We also created spiderwebs with marble painting and drew our own spiders to adorn them.
Surprisingly, a lot of students said they weren't afraid of spiders...although I do doubt their honesty a bit!
Next week's color of the week will be our last...it is BROWN! Thanks to all who have sent in items for our color posters. The students enjoy looking at them daily as they are playing during center time.
