Slide down the moon without any hitches
Hi Ho Halloween’s here!

There was an old lady in a pointed hat

There was an old lady in a pointed hat
(Use your hands to make pointed hat over head)
She came to my door with a rap-tap-tap

MOVIE DAY

2008-12-12T07:28:00.000-08:00

Our Movie Day was a blast. We started off the day with reading The Polar Express. Then we went to work on our snowman story pictures. Have your kids sing you the song they learned with it. We had hot chocolate and pancakes for snack time..yummy! Then sarted our movie time. We watched most of Polar Express. The kids loved it. I told them we would finish watching it next week.

The kids totally deserved this fun day. They have worked so hard on practicing their songs for the Christmas program. They enjoyed a day with no singing and were totally into the movie. They had popcorn and a cookie for treats. We missed Tristan.

Another movie your kids love is "The Snowman". It is a short story about a boy, a snowman and their magical night together. There are no words just music. It is real cute. If any of you would like to borrow it for your family just let me know. I also have the book that you can use too.

Snake Time

THE BRAVE ONES

We are learning about animals right now. Devlin's grandma gave us a toy snake that grows after being in water for awhile. Most of the kids liked touching its slimy rough skin but only few were brave enough to hold it. Devlin will bring his real snake in next week to show to class. Yipee!

Sara the snake girl

They each got a stretchy snake to take home.

Fun was had by all and only one person used the stretchy snake as a weapon. :)

Just a funny: So Talbot is in back of me with his stretchy snake. I hear him say Yep thats a big butt! I turned around and he had his strtchy snake pulled apart as far as it could go. I said what did you say he shyly said big butt. I was laughing so hard. He is so funny! I mean what an imagination using his stretchy snake as a tape measure. When I told my husband this story he said " well at least his measurment is accurate". I love these kids!!!!

They are only make – believe,
funny costumes on Halloween.
Ghosts and goblins, cats and bats,
we’re not afraid of this or that.

1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Witches
Sung to “1 Little, 2 Little 3 Little Indians”

1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Witches
Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches
Slide down the moon without any hitches
Hi Ho Halloween’s here!
