Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Families! Announcements:
This week was so much fun! We had fun, spooky themed activities, and we got to wear our costumes! One of my favorite things to do this time every year is to go on the costume parade throughout the all the classrooms. We had a blast weaving in and out of each classroom, starting with Ms. Babcock’s class (right across the hall), and going all the way to Mrs. Emmons’ class on the other side of the school. We walked through the office as well to see Mrs. May, Bonne, and Mary! They all had so much fun practicing their waving throughout the parade. I apologize that I did not get a group picture of the MT class in their costumes, but there will be more fun times to take group photos. They all enjoyed hammering golf tees into pumpkins this week. It is a great activity to work on so many muscles in their hands and arms. I started the holes in the pumpkins but they had to hold the golf tees and hammer them in with little wooden hammers that are typically used for cracking open lobster. Those hammers happen to be the perfect size for preschool hands! We also made bat hats this week. Some of the kids didn’t finish them this week but we will finish them next week. They used glue bottles to glue on googley eyes and helped me fold the spider legs and staple them on the hat. They are really flexing their glue bottle skills lately! They enjoyed wearing them after the glue was dry. A really fun activity we did this week was make “potions” with water, watercolor, and alka seltzer tabs (they called them fizzies). I talked at length with the kiddos that these are not to eat, and they all understood and followed that rule! Most kids made potions for over an hour in each class! They loved watching the water start to bubble up and sometimes spill over the container. We used green, purple, red, and blue watercolor to make the potions extra special. As they played, I walked around and asked them what I would turn into if I drank the potion. The responses were awesome. Here are some: a house, a jack-o-lantern, a bat, a spider, and a basketball. How cute! On Tuesday, we went out for a long walk around the school grounds and ended up on the soccer field. We played a few rounds of “What Time is it Mr. Fox?”. It’s a really fun game! The directions are: the kids stand in a line and I stand far away, similar to red light green light. They all ask, “What time is it Mr. Fox?” and I answer with a time such as 3 o’clock or 5 o’clock. Whatever number is said, is how many steps they can take towards me. When they are getting close and ask again, I say “Dinner time!” and run to chase them. It was so fun! On Thursday, they were all absolutely astounded to see that, at around 10:30 am, the moon was out in the sky! They all stood there and marveled at it together, and then quickly returned to their game of dinosaur chase. Ask Your Child: Did you go on a parade in your costumes this week? Did you see anyone you know (any grown ups or kids such as Ms. Honi or siblings/older friends)? I hope you all have a great and fun spooky weekend with your families, Deanna
