Preschool 10/13

Theme:
Pumpkins

Circle Time

Books: Haunted Party, Berenstein Bears and the Prize Pumpkin

We had our pumpkin friend back again today and passed him around as all the kids wanted a turn in holding it!

We guessed if we thought the pumpkin weighed heavier or lighter than us. Then they each stepped on the scale to weigh themselves.

Tatum - 32 lbs
Megan - 55 lbs
Isaiah - 47 lbs
Lola - 37 lbs
Pumpkin - 16 lbs

Played some file folder games - matching pumpkin faces and Pumpkin ABC's

Art

We listened to Raffi's '5 Little Pumpkins' song and then did our own art project to it. They all really liked putting this one together!

Later we did an open-ended art project with tissue paper circles (pumpkins), pipe cleaner (vine) and real pumpkin seeds. Lola chose not to participate in this one. She was too engrossed in playing something else at the time.

Snack

We made individual pumpkin pies. The kids helped measure the ingredients, mix it all up and scoop it into their own bowls. I had planned to have them eat this right away but didn't see before in the directions it had to set up in the fridge.

So we had saltines and string cheese, went outside to play, finished our day in the preschool room and came back down stairs to have the pies at the end of our day. I think in the end they all only at the whip cream on top! Oh well!
