\nFirst of all, HI!!! If you haven’t noticed, have been MIA for over half a year (sorry, ya’ll!!), but I am officially BACK and ready to jump right back into my bloggy routine.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo I won’t waste any more time and get right into some Halloween fun! Now for the record, I hate<\/strike> strongly dislike<\/i> Halloween and do not think it should be a holiday…yes, I am one of those<\/i>. But my kiddies love it so, naturally, I pretend like I do to!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe read the same poem that we read last year<\/a>, but this time we did some “I Spy” for sight words (the, out, and on):<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe also did a little “pumpkin investigation” (see worksheet below)<\/i> by observing, touching, and smelling a funny-looking pumpkin. We split into groups and practiced counting by 5s to figure out how many seeds were in our little pumpkin. The answer sure surprised us!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nGrab your FREE copy of our investigation worksheet by clicking the photo below:<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThroughout the week the kiddies also created some awesome Halloween crafts (thank you, Pinterest!). They turned out beyond adorable:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nLast but not least, we had some fun in math and rotated through 4 math practice centres that I whipped up for this festive holiday. My firsties knocked.my.socks.off. with how well they worked through these centres. They were totally engaged.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nLearning – 1<\/div>\n
\nSugar Rush – 0<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nP.S. how stink in’ cute are they in their costumes?! Between the fire fighter and the police officer it was like a little Village People reunion. HA!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd here are the four centre activities they’re working away on:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\nYou can grab them all and a BONUS writing activity HERE<\/a>.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd that about wraps up our crazy week. Happy Halloween from Grade One!<\/div>\n
