Joy of honesty and candor - day 2

Even though we missed Isabel, we finished up learning about pumpkins and preparing to go on the field trip next week. We sampled some roasted pumpkin seeds, and then recalled the planting they did last week at Nicki's. After we toured the backyard and looked at the pumpkin vine we have growing, and we came inside a carved our own jack-o lantern.

Kai was the brave one who put his hand inside and touched the "punkin guts".  Everyone else decided not too. They smelled the pumpkin and put their hand inside after the guts were cleaned out. Then we decided what shapes to make the eyes and nose.  We voted to make a happy pumpkin.

Joy boy came and he brought us all red vampire fangs. With our binoculars and fangs we listened to "Looking for Dracula" again. We moved on to spiders.  We sang and read about them and talked about the spider web we saw at the Kids Adventure Garden. We had a spider snack:

With pretend eyeballs (grapes) and mud soda (rootbeer and chocolate ice cream).  They loved the pretend names for everything. And the spooky spider pizza was a hit too.

After snack we played, made our spider web art, journals and spent more time in the halloween carnival learning to wait our turn and be a good sport.
