We've been looking forward to this preschool week all month long! My kitchen has been "decorated" with Halloween pictures for weeks in anticipation of the big Halloween Party and costume ideas have been thrown around like balls. We began on Tuesday learning more about rumply, dumply pumpkins and the spooky jack-o-lanterns they can become. Thursday was of course the great Halloween Party. Playtime became a chance to trade costumes and practice trick-or-treating. They told ghost stories (I wrote them down in their journals) and practiced riding the broom like witches. Lots of scary fun!
The children transformed their pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns while learning more about shapes. 
Kyler was so excited to share his treat that he made all by himself!
Searching for hidden pumpkins. They all worked together and made sure everyone got a turn to find them. 
Look Mom and Dad- the plants are growing. Checking the growth of their plants and tending them has become a new after snack routine. They can't wait to see how their peas are growing.
Porsche's spooky spider creation. 
These three amigos were laughing and giggling so hard I had to wonder what they were up to. I soon discovered that they hid all the little pumpkins for me to find!
Working hard on gross motor skills by throwing beanbags at our pumpkins. They had to first identify the shape they were going to throw to, aim and celebrate when they hit the mark.
Cutest costume goes to... everyone!!

These children LOVE to dance! If we get busy doing something else they always remind me that they need their music time.
