Thanksgiving Party

We had a little Thanksgiving feast at preschool complete with turkey sandwiches (which was more of a hit with me and the other parents), muffins, brownies, and chips. We played Hide & Go Seek the Turkeys (where we pretended we were either the Turkey farmer or the turkeys hiding). We played a pumpkin basket game with mini pumpkins, and then we watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving movie (and ate popcorn). We had pilgrim hats, made little turkeys, and talked about what we are thankful for.

"I" is for ice-cream & Igloos

We only had Eli and Aaron at school today. We definitely missed our other friends, especially because we taste tested Ice-cream and made edible igloos out of paper bowls (Not edible), frosting and mini marshmellows.

Funny side story: I bought Moose Tracks Ice-cream (it's delicious). So, we were eating our ice-cream and then Eli announced that it was called "Moose Tracks" and then Aaron was like, "I don't want to eat this anymore!" I tried to explain to him that it was just called "Moose Tracks" and that it really didn't have moose in it. He didn't believe me, he wouldn't eat anymore :)

Ice Experiment

We conducted a little Ice experiement for letter "I" to see which ice cube would melt the fastest (the one in the glass, plastic, or aluminum containers. We wrapped one in cotton squares. This picture isn't that great, but I thought it was kindov funny, all the kids are doing something different ;)

Breadmakers

In honor of letter "B" we pretended to be Bakers and made our own French Bread. The kids love when we cook, they get to wear the chef hat, pour in ingredients and of course eat our creations.

B for beans

So, we glued beans on our big B's. The kids REALLY like Glue I discovered! Time to go buy some more :)

Halloween Party Time

We have been counting down until Halloween and the kids were really excited for our Halloween Party. Here they are in their costumes (that didn't last too long, so I'm glad I got this picture when I did :) and with our Witch/Wizard hats on. Next time I'll have to come up with something to keep the hats on!

Monster Mash Freeze

It was hilarious to watch the kids dance and freeze when the music stopped. They had a blast with this game. The kids have some pretty sweet dance moves. I wish I would have had my video camera out for this activity! :)

Musical Chairs

The kids had fun playing Musical Chairs with Halloween music. The boys got a little competitive.

Pumpkin Bowling

For part of our Halloween party we did a little pumpkin bowling. The kids loved this game, they are so easy to please :) I had no picture of Jonny bowling, sorry! Don't know what happened there.

H for Halloween Witch/Wizard Hat

The kids had fun decorating their hats with stickers, flowers, stripes, glitter, and did I mention stickers! The kids were having a competition to see who could use a whole sheet of stickers the fastest. We also made hat cookies (but I forgot to take a picture of that, oops!) The kids love to help cook.
