Pre-K: October 27-31, 2025-Halloween Week!
October 31, 2025
Dear Pre-K Families,
What a fun week to end the month of October on a Friday, Halloween, in our Pre-K classroom!
This week we continued practicing our sequence story “Big Pumpkin” as well as songs that included Witches Brew and other Halloween favorite books and stories. We participated in several soccer drills in Be Ahead of the Game and spent time outside collecting and raking leaves on the playground as the season of Fall continues.
We have gained confidence in signing our names each morning when we arrive at school and practiced uppercase letter recognition and tracing letters activities. (including lowercase letters).
Each child in class on Wednesday help Miss Melanie deliver food to the Food Pantry located within the building of our school. We took a tour of the Food Pantry and learned more about this community program.
In art this week we made paper chains. We measured how long our chain was and it extended from one end of our classroom into the hallway outside Miss Melanie’s door. We also made ghosts, monster faces, and witches. We continued to practice cutting, had a fun Hay Ride in the Dramatic Play area, played with ‘big blocks’ and began a new ghost dice game as we practiced numbers 1-6.
Highlights this week:
- Pumpkin Volcano (maybe not as successful as we had hoped but still fun to see lots of bubbles!
- Carved our classroom pumpkin!
- Orange sparkle play dough!
- Great Math bags this week! Numbers 5 and 6 were a hit!
- Lucas “Me Week” – Great job Lucas! Show and Tell was amazing with the biggest firetruck ever!
- Lucas’ mom and brother Philip joined us for a morning book and picture sharing time.
- Pizza party on Friday – Halloween Celebration! Thanks to everyone for making this happen!
Next week we will focus on learning about Nocturnal Animals!
Enjoy the weekend!
Miss Jan, Miss Dana and Miss Karen
