We had such a fun Halloween party! We played games, ate treats, made Marshmallow Pops, painted pumpkins, had our faces painted, sang our Halloween songs, and enjoyed recess!

Our class was a little skeptical about trying the spooky witches punch(apple juice)! They all wanted to take a good look before they tried it!

We painted our gourds orange to look like little pumpkins. :)


We played Bean Bag Toss! Nash was SO good at it!!


I'm the CHAMPION!





We enjoyed lots of tasty treats! Yum!



Next we made some tasty treats!
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Pops!

The Recipe!

You will need:
White Baking Chocolate(I use Ambrosia)
Orange Food Coloring
Skewers or Lolli Pop sticks
Marshmallows
Sprinkles
Foam to poke your Marshmallow Pops into while the chocolate hardens.

It's so simple!
Melt the chocolate. Stick the marshmallows on skewers. Dip them in the chocolate. Add sprinkles and then poke it into the foam so they can harden before eating.

They LOVED their Marshmallow Pops!

Face Painting!!

What a FUN day! I'm so glad out whole class could be there!

I was just looking at the calendar and double checking my dates and math! :)

I just wanted to show a break-down of how you pay me, especially with all of these holidays coming up it might seem confusing. I even had to double-check my numbers to be sure I wasn't getting any paid days off! :)

Preschool Class Tues-Thurs:
I teach a total of 108 classes Tues-Thurs at $14.50 per class. That's $1,566 per school year. Divide that by 9 months and it's $174 per month($175).

Fall is Here!

Here's our class! They are so proud of all of their Fall projects!


Monsters and Goblins! We made these paintings after reading the ABC Monster Book!


Foam Pumpkins! We've learned all about pumpkins, pumpkin farming, and the pumpkin patch! Did you know that a pumpkin is a fruit?


Here is our Pumpkin Seriation project. Seriation is a way of situating an object in a series. This was a really good project to help them with following directions as well as seriation. First, they were asked to color the pumpkins. Next, they cut them out. Once they were cut out they situated the pumpkins in order from smallest to largest. Lastly, they glued them down onto construction paper.




This Halloween Drawing project helped aid students in following directions. Basically, we created five Halloween characters in a step-by-step process using specific colors and shapes to create the final project. The whole class did really well!



Here I am about to read a giant book about pumpkins!

Cute little pumpkins! ;)
