October Activities

Okay, so what if it's already January and I am just now posting our classroom activities for October?  I have been a little busy and back logged.  Therefore, I'm just going to post everything all at once. So with no further ado, here is the whirlwind that was the month of October! 

 

We started out studying about apples.

Apple Prints

Tasting different apples and charting it.

Talking about differences and similarities.

A riddle.

Then went into magic, potions, Halloween, fall, and Día de Los Muertos.

At the easel we had: invisible or magic paint,

Sugar Skulls,

And painting fall leaves with feathers.

We had a witch stop by and make magic potion for us using dry ice.  Luckily, we didn't turn into frogs, but it was a close call!  Afterwards, we experimented making our own potions from vinegar and baking soda.

We created monster faces for our Annual Halloween Trunk or Treat bags.

We played with goop in the Sensory Bin.

And Decorated our pumpkins.

We also decorated sugar skulls and talked about Día de Los Muertos, and we created an altar to celebrate the life of our fish.

We learned about skeletons by glueing them together and reading some fun fact and fictional books.

And we had a blast making monster face cookies.

We also enjoyed experimenting with colors swirling around and mixing in jars.

I know I missed a bunch of other activities and didn't get any pictures of books or circle time, but all-in-all you can see we had a very fun month!
