Halloween

On Halloween, we got to have some fall fun and we also got to bring in our costumes/wear PJs during our celebration! 

The ladies in the office all loved seeing our costumes, as did our Dragonfly Reading Buddies! Even Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Quinn dressed up as Arthur the Aardvark and The Pink Ladies! 

Afterwards, we had a dance party, showed off our digs in art, and then it was time to come back to class for a bit more fun before the end of the day. 

We enjoyed getting to celebrate together! Thank you to all the families who sent in snacks and supplies for our afternoon of fun :) 

Creepy Crawlies

After reading a real word book about bugs, we learned all about the differences between different kinds of bugs. We learned that while spiders are bugs, they are not actually insects--they are arachnids because they have eight legs whereas an insect only has 6. After, we decided to make some spiders to crawl across our kindergarten hallway! 

We learned that most spiders have eight eyes, but some have less and some even have more! 

One of the questions that came out of our reading was whether or not all arachnids were spiders or if only some were, like bugs and insects. We did some research and discovered that the Arachnid family not only includes spiders, but also includes scorpions, ticks, and mites (yikes!)
