F is for Frankenstein

Welcome to Halloween!

As we dove into the holiday, our first order of business was learning all about spiders.  We created webs and experimented with the fact that they're so sticky.

We counted and matched numbers with them.

We made spider handprints... 

...and a classroom web site.

We also got to have our first music lesson of the year with Mr. Maldonado.  

Mr. Maldonado is a highly experienced music teacher who has taught children for years and we're so lucky to have him in the classroom once a month!

Then, we went back to Halloween!

We learned about bats while viewing a slideshow.

We examined their parts in my highly scientific sketch (which somewhat resembles a flying pig)

...and read about them in our Itsy Bitsy Bat Book.

Finally, we made bat clothes pins to hold up our Frankenstein F's
















We also painted our feet this week...

...to make ghosts.

We're super-preschoolers.  And I have the best job ever!
