Halloween Fun!

Our week was short, but it was pure Halloween fun!

Our afternoon Halloween parade!

The kids enjoyed a spooky witches brew story on the light table.

We also experimented yet again with vinegar and baking soda.  This time we discovered that you can use vinegar and baking soda to blow up a balloon - it was just like magic!

Thank you

A huge thank you goes out to the volunteers who helped out with our Halloween parties.  Thank you to Ally Reid, Kathy Massia, Katryn Mawson-Dalmer, as well as Hudson and Riley's Grandma for donating your time.  Party days always get a little crazy and we greatly appreciate the extra set of hands that allows us to give the kids special experiences such as pumpkin carving with their friends. 

 

Thank you also to the parents who sent party treats for our snacks.  The food was delicious and the kids were delighted to have a snack together on their special day.

Trick-or-Treat!

We hope you had a great time trick-or-treating with your little ones!  We had fun this week playing Halloween with our kids and pretending to trick-or-treat as one of our imaginative play stations.  This station developed language skills, emphasized turn taking, and encourage imaginary play skills.

Ball Pit!

Yes, the rumors are true - we now have our very own ball pit!  It has been an exciting week filled with turn taking and learning to be gentle with our friends.  Our ball pit will be up all year.  It provides a wonderful sensory experience and will be a valuable asset to our program.  Some of our ball pit rules include: no shoes, three kids at a time, and coming out when the your turn is over.
