Good evening! I was not in the classroom this morning, as I was administering an early years evaluation assessment. So, a substitute was working with our class as I worked with them one on one. These are some of the activities they engaged with:
Halloween patterns!
An activity to evaluation the ability to follow directions and also understanding of special directions (above, in, below, etc...)
The students had pictures of each Halloween character to glue on the Happy Halloween page.
The Hallo-Weiner! There were some free books in the staff room yesterday and the Speech and Language Pathologist recommended this one. The dog in the story is teased by the other dogs until he becomes the hero! Students listened to the story and then worked on a response, sharing their favourite part.
We also read Big Pumpkin, which is a funny repetitive story about a group of Halloween characters who are trying to pull a big pumpkin. Each character believes that they are bigger and stronger and that they will be the one who can finally pull up the big pumpkin. In the end, they learn that they are better off working together. The pay off~ they all got to eat yummy pumpkin pie!
Of course, this story encouraged many connections to Halloween. Also, a discussion about the difference between a mommy and a mummy! Students then shared what they are going to be for Halloween and drew pictures of their costumes. I can't wait to see all of them dressed up on Friday! :)
