Workshop Rundown: 10/22

Workshops this week were "Spooktacular"!

5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate.  The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"  The second one said.... 

Do you remember this favorite childhood Halloween poem?  We made cute 5 Little Pumpkins gloves and then highlighted the HFW in the poem.  Good Halloween fun!

Stamping and writing a Halloween number book.  After stamping the page, the kids used our Halloween Word Wall to write what they stamped.  Such as "five jack-o-lanterns."  Be sure to have your child read this book to you at home!  Spooky voices are a must!

We sorted and labeled short and long I words.  Long I is for ice cream and short I is for inchworm.  Everyone surprised us with their  knowledge and understanding of the vowel sounds!

 After reading the new take home book "Who Has a Hat?" and making the new HFW cards - who, has, do, eight - the kids chose a spooky finger to find HFW in Halloween books.

 Of course we had to draw our October self-portraits in our costumes!

To practice number recognition and ordering, the kids cut out ghosts numbered 1-25.  Then, they put them in order.   After that, we had fun asking the kids to point to various numbers.  They are in a zip lock baggie for home practice.  Have your child order the numbers or use them as flashcards.  Number recognition from 1-25 is a kidergarten skill that can take some practice.
