HALLOWEEN IS ALMOST HERE!

Dear Parents,

We had a great time making Halloween decorations this week.  The children finished making their witches by adding hair, a hat, and a broom stick.

On Tuesday, the children made creepy bats.  They dripped watercolor onto a coffee filter shaped bat and then dipped a clothespin in glitter for the body.  When they dried, we attached the clothespin to the paper and then hung them up around the room.  

 Thursday, the children decorated their own personal Halloween bags with sharpies.  They can use them for trick or treating and fill them up with goodies. 

  

The highlight of the week was a visit from Lucky Bob, the magician.  He put on a phenomenal show.  The children were giggling through out the 45 minute performance, and that is quite an accomplishment for a group of 3-5 year old children!  I am not sure who laughed more, the teachers or the children. children loved him.

Ms. Yuting's Class:
We reviewed the finger numbers, the black pattern and how to find a “DO” from a two-black-key group. We also learned the first section of Mississippi Hot Dog with the change of the fingers in the right hand.  The notes are DO, SOL, LA, SOL FA ,MI, RE, DO, and the fingering is 1 4 5 4 and 3 2 1 1.
