RBES PK: Halloween!

One Little Ghost

We learned a new Halloween rhyme this week. The students participated by listening and showing their character when it was their turn. We used pictures but you can also use your fingers to show how many.

ONE LITTLE GHOST
One little ghost flew down the street.
(Wave hand through the air.)
"I wonder," he said, "what I will meet--
(Place finger to temple, thinking.)
One hairy spider,
(Hold up one finger, then move hand like spider.)
Two black cats,
(Hold up two fingers, then put two fingers from each hand on head for cat ears.)
Three wild witches with pointy hats,
(Hold up three fingers, then place fingertips of hands together to form hat.)
Four old owls in a hollow tree,
(Hold up four fingers, then form an oval with both hands for eyes to look through.)
And five brother bats to fly with me!
(Hold up five fingers, then hook thumbs of both hands together and flap fingers for bat wings.)

Painting Ghosts

We used clothespins and cotton balls to dab paint on ghosts for art. Holding the clothespin is a fine-motor skill and great pre-writing activity.

Halloween Party Centers

During our Halloween celebrations students rotated through 4 centers. They did Pumpkin Carving, a Scavenger Hunt throughout the school, enjoyed a Light table story called The Witches Brew, and
Pumpkin Volcanoes! We participated in a costume parade and enjoyed a special snack together.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all the parents who volunteered, sent in a snack, and dressed up your little one in a costume. We had so much fun!
