Mummies

We created mummies today. Everyone chose which color and size googly eyes they wanted and glued them on their mummy shape. Each child asked for white tissue paper and then glued the strips on creating the mummy's wrappings. It's looking VERY SPOOKY around these parts!

Ghosts and Pumpkins...Oh, my!!!

We've had a busy couple of days. Yesterday we created ghosts by gluing cotton balls onto a ghost shape. We also added googly eyes. Don't be scared when you see them haunting our classroom door! Today we completed our work on our HUGE jack-o-lantern. We took turns cutting out the big pumpkin shape, drawing facial features and cutting them out, and gluing them on. He's amazing! When we finished all of our work we created amazing art on orange paper in our creation station. We glued all kinds of objects onto our paper. We've been doing so much fine motor work and learning all about the color orange.

All About Orange

Today we worked with orange. We painted orange squares, orange flowers, and orange carrots. We also mixed red and yellow paint with our hands to create orange. We love orange!

Pumpkins and Orange

Back to blogging after a really busy two weeks...glad to be back on here!

We had a great day today. We started with doing some amazing sorting and creating a beautiful flower for a special friend. During centers we created our own "Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate" by gluing craft sticks both horizontally and vertically on paper and then stamping pumpkins with a sponge stamp and orange paint on the top. We counted them and everyone's had five! We also painted many different sizes of pumpkins when we finished our work. We had a wonderful, busy day!

Squares!

Today we learned about squares. They have four sides and four corners. We traced them with our fingers. We painted them using water colors.

Orange Play Dough

Today we made our own orange play dough! We all took turns pouring the ingredients into a big bowl and then we took turns stirring. We added yellow and red food coloring to make it orange! We will play with it tomorrow during centers.

Orange!

With the beginning of October, we've begun learning all about orange. I read a book about orange during circle time. During centers we used our hands to paint a big piece of paper orange. We also worked with orange objects in shaving cream. We even fed our temporary classroom pet guinea pig, Rosie, orange carrots! It was a really orange day!
