{Halloween Party, Part 3}

Bella's mom came with games and prizes! At her rotation the students were able to play Halloween Pictionary. The kids did a great job drawing Halloween pictures and guessing.

Trent's Mom came and helped out with the treat station. The class was able to take a plain sugar cookie and transform it into a sugary invention. The students loved the bright orange frosting and the sprinkles and treats they added to their cookie. Most of the class didn't have time to eat it during class and were able to take it home for an after school treat!

{Halloween Party, Part 1}

We had an awesome Halloween party put on by parents in our class. We had 5 different stations, and I had students telling me, this was the best party ever! Thank you so much to the parents who came, brought things, and helped entertain the class. It was awesome!

Part 1- Slime! Henry's mom came with a craft for the class. Working together they mixed ingredients to make some green slime. The kids were amazed with the final product and couldn't stop playing with it. It was a huge success!

{Making Words}

We had a competition this week using the letters from Happy Halloween. The students tried to come up with as many words as they could in 10 minutes. Kali won with over 30 words! Great job!

A quick Halloween treat, that can be made in seconds- All you need is a chocolate covered cookie, any kind is fine, preferably circle shape. Some frosting and chocolate kisses. They were made and devoured within a minute! And quick clean up!

{A Halloween Trick}

On Thursday I gave each student a piece of white paper with a trunk on it. I asked the students to draw a "Fall Tree" on the paper. I told them that on Friday we would use watercolors to paint the paper black, so it would be a fall tree at night. The students did a great job drawing their trees.

When the students left school, I used a white crayon to draw a ghost and write BOO on each child's paper.

The next day when they started painting, they were all in for a great surprise! The reactions were so funny.
