It was a very good day in Rm-A. The children decorated mini
pumpkins. They used markers and stickers. The children hammered
golf tees into the pumpkins. Since these are extra pumpkins from Trunk
or Treat, the children shared the gourd and worked together to create
pumpkin works of art. Very creative, so original! Other activities
offered today included: toys, stamping circles, making a Jack-O-Lantern
using daubers and matching pumpkin halves by number-1, 2, 3. The boys
and
girls practiced using scissors to cut a Jack-O-Lantern wind sock.
Daubers
were used to fill in circles on the scarecrows. Each child used
stickers to make a face on a small paper pumpkin. These are displayed on
the door to our classroom. The children enjoyed
some quiet time to look at books. The Bible story was Hannah and Samuel.
The children took turns throwing and catching a small orange ball. They
also participated in singing a song about Martin Luther. This week the
boys and girls have heard the story of Martin Luther. We enjoyed playing
in the Commons with the puppets, balls, scooters and a large tunnel.
Back in the room, we sang some seasonal songs and learned a few finger
plays. Before lunch, I carved the class pumpkin.
Each day more of the pumpkin will be carved. Yesterday the top of the
pumpkin was opened and we scooped out the insides. Today the girls and
boys enjoyed playing in the seeds and pulp. We discussed how the
insides looked, felt and smelled. The Wednesday children instructed me to carve a circular nose. This day was a
wonderful gift from God!
