On
Friday, October 31st all the Kindergarten students enjoyed a Fall
Centers Celebration between our two Kindergarten rooms, the PVO room,
and the back breezeway. Students decorated cookies (one to eat and one
to keep!) and enjoyed a cup of “Spooky Brew” at the “Cookie Decorating
Station.” Our little artists painted beautiful wooden frames at the
“Craft Station”. After adding a little glitter glue, a few 3-D stickers,
and the commemorative picture of all their friends during our Berry
Patch Farms field trip - this Fall keepsake brings smiles to everyone's
face and the students can't wait to bring them home!
Students
were finally able to put the last two weeks of daily morning estimation
practice to good use during the “Estimation Station” activity. Our
awesome parent volunteers helped students look at several containers
filled with treats and prizes and had each member of the group come up
with and write an estimate for the amount of items inside one jar they
chose as a group. After counting every item in each jar, the child that
guessed the closest to the actual number received two items from the jar
to put in their goody bag. The other children in the group each
received one. Students had tons of fun estimating like crazy and earning
prizes until it was time to switch stations!
Students
created a messy "Yarn Pumpkin" project using yarn and balloons after
playing a fun game of "Pin The Nose on the Pumpkin". Students were able
to get their hands very messy and covered in glue as they dipped pieces
of yarn into the glue solution, wrapped their balloons with the yarn,
added a stem, and are waiting for their "Yarn Pumpkins" to dry and
harden so they can take them home for a fun Fall decoration!
In
the PVO room the students were surprised with a giant tent also known
as the "Storytelling Cave." Students helped select and then listened to
some of their favorite Fall stories inside a cozy tent complete with
fluffy pillows and a cozy pumpkin blanket. The best part? Students lit
up their stories with the glow sticks and wands they earned for great
behavior inside the tent!
Outside
in the back breezeway, students added points earned during “Pumpkin
Buckets” and used pumpkin sponges to transport water as fast as they
could from a giant cauldron to plastic pumpkin buckets in the
“Jack-O-Lantern Relay.”
A BIG thank you
to everyone who helped make this event a big success. The students
couldn’t stop talking about all the fun they had the rest of the day,
and are still talking about all the fun they had this week :-) They said
it was the “best day all year.” Oh, if only they knew how many fun
events they have to look forward to yet in Kindergarten…
