At the table today the kids put Halloween stickers on the first letter of their name. At circle we talked about what was inside a pumpkin then cut it open and explored what we found. Some were eager to stick their hands in and grab out seeds and pulp while others were very happy to sit back and watch. We will put the pumpkins in our tactile center tomorrow so they can enjoy it some more.

At the table today we finger painted (or used a paint brush)pumpkins orange and used our fingers to draw faces on them. At circle we began reading "The Runaway Pumpkin" and then worked on prepositions by following directions to put a pumpkin, under, on top of, beside, in front of and behind a basket. Then held a paper pumpkin while singing a preposition song and followed the directions to put it on top of our heads, behind our back, next to our leg, under our feet.
At the table today we laced pretzels. This was very motivating for the kids because they got to eat the pretzels when they were finished if they wanted to. Lacing is a great fine motor activity and you can lace just about anything that has a whole in the middle including cereal, beads, penne noodles, etc. The kids had a lot of fun retelling our story "The Bag I'm Taking to Grandma's" and packing our bag again. We also talked about what each of us pack in a bag when we go somewhere over night.
