Scary Witches

With Thanksgiving behind us, we are right smack dab into our Halloween themed activities.  Although Halloween is not for another couple of weeks, there are so many cool activities to do that we thought we'd get started right away.

This week, children made paper bag witches. SCARY!!  Actually many of them turned out pretty cute ;)  It's amazing to see how well our fine motor skills with cutting and colouring have improved.  Also, Susan always has us counting and learning letters while we're working (children have to count to 10 or 20 when they are holding their glued items onto their craft).  During our conversations at the table, the children build on their schema with all the information, facts and stories they share.
