I know what your thinking it's the middle of November and I am posting about October.  Well life got busy and I finally had the time to post what we did in October.

  I change my calendar every month.  I don't know why but my kinders think it is so cool.  I also decorate my room for the holidays.  They all came in saying it was Halloween.  We had to talk at calendar time that Halloween wasn't until the 31st.

We started with reading The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything.  We practiced retelling the story.  You can get the cards here.

For one of our hands-on morning work tubs they made jack-o-lanterns.  I got the felt pieces from Targets dollar spot.  I swear I check that section out every time I go there.  You never know what you will find there.

We also did pumpkin investigations.  Each kinder brought in their own pumpkin.

One of my favorite activities to do with my kinders is our old lady projects.  We read There Was an Old Lady That Swallowed Some Leaves.  Each kinder made an old lady and wrote what fall thing they would swallow.  Even my boys love this activity.

We ended October with our "Fall" party.  We watched It's A The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, wrapped ourselves up as mummies, and decorated our pumpkins.
