October was a busy month as we entered the holiday season. It was so much fun to see all of the children in their costumes and excited for Halloween this week!
You probably noticed our very spooky Jack-O-Lantern window, carefully designed and painted by Jordan and Addison along with the help of several other children. We also have lots of beautifully decorated pumpkins lining our window sills!
The kindergartens have done several Halloween crafts and activities, and had a blast joining preschool for a super fun party Halloween morning. They loved De’s new Halloween songs and dancing and howling to the “Monster Mash”. They were also proud to be the very first group to read two new Halloween books, Miss Fiona’s Pumpkin Pies and the very silly Room on the Broom. They even helped with sound effects the next day when I read it to the Kinderstart group!
Leading up to Halloween, we had the very entertaining Captain Jack Sparrow pop into the center. The children helped him find the Lost Treasure of the LaSalle River, supposedly plagued by invisible monsters. But don’t worry, he made sure each child was armed with a balloon sword to keep them safe. He was so grateful that they helped him find the treasure that the all got a gold coin and candy as a reward!
The children are still very excited about building and forts, and luckily the last fundraiser provided us with tons of cardboard to use! We saw muffin trays become lawn chairs, table hockey rinks, and bey-blade stadiums, and cookie boxes transformed into cars and houses!
There has also been a lot a beautiful and creative art made in the room, this is a very talented group of children! The art table fills up as soon as the children return from school and we try to add new and interesting materials as often as possible. They truly have a knack for using the materials in unique and unexpected ways! The biggest challenge is keeping enough paper in stock to meet their creative needs, so if anyone is looking to get rid of bland/scrap paper we will gladly accept it!
