Hoot #1
This hoot is all about PUMPKINS! We have read about them, learned about them, explored them, carved them, and picked them!
First we read this book, then we guessed how many seeds we thought would be in our pumpkin. Our pumpkin had 681 seeds!!
We cut open our pumpkin and pulled out all of the pulp and seeds.
We dug through the pulp to pick out the seeds.
Then we counted out 20 pumpkin seeds to take home.
We completed a pumpkin brace map after we explored and carved our pumpkin.
The Rockstars voted, and they decided that their jack-o-lantern was going to have a scary face.
I think they were happy with the end result!
The next day, we were able to take our pumpkin unit further by attending a field trip to the farm. Every student got to ride on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick their very own pumpkin to take home!!

This year our kindergarten team decided to go all out on Halloween! It was SO much fun, and the kids loved the entire day! Students and teachers got to dress up in a costume for Halloween!! There was only one catch though...it had to be a book character costume!
We also had students from the middle school come and read to our class in costumes!
After reading Room on the Broom, students got to make Witch's Brew for snack! They got to help mix the snack in the cauldron and make spooky noises to make sure it mixed just right! There was dry ice under the cauldron, but it had stopped smoking before the picture was taken. The dry ice was so cool!!
Then we got to do a "potion" and see whose jack-o-lantern would make the most elephant toothpaste. The Jitterbugs won! On the count of 3, we all shouted "HOCUS POCUS" and watched our jack-o-lanterns erupt! The students all "oooohhh'd" and "aaaahhhhh'd"! It was AWESOME!
A Spook-tacular day was had by all!!
Even heard one student say, "this is the best day ever!"
This Week's Holler...
This week's holler goes out to all of our kinder team! We all work hard (that goes without saying), but we also work very well together as a team! This year we decided to dress up as letters from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. The students absolutely loved seeing their teachers dressed up, and even though they may not admit it...the teachers had fun dressing up too!
