Five Little Pumpkins

One of our Red Group Kinderkids was so proud to be able to share a little song we have been learning!  Didn't she do a great job?

The Skeleton Dance

A Little Funny From a Friend

Do you have a joke to share with us? We'd love to hear it!

The Spooky Haunted House

Once upon a time there was a haunted house right in the middle of kindergarten. 

It was a giant house.  It was black with a million windows, doors and gates. We wondered who lived in it. We looked and looked.  We listened and listened. We could not hear anyone....

To Be Continued...

Who do you think lives in the house?

Some days are messy...

and this sure was one of them! My apologies for all the paint splattered bodies that came home today... but we sure had fun!

Storytellers

Ms. Power's Kinderkids invited our Blue Group friends to their classroom on Friday to listen to them tell a story about a fat old witch! They were very excited to show us some of the witches they had made and to have us try the actions to their story along with them!

We decided to share something with them too!  One of our favourite stories to tell this month is Pumpkin Faces.  We hope you like it!

A Special Reader

One of our kinderkids shared a story with us today!  We loved how she kept her eyes on the words the whole time and touched each word carefully as she read them!  

Didn't she do great?

The Haunted Trees of Halloween!

Once upon a time there was a spooky forest of trees.

When people would try to go to the forest, there was no sun and everything was dark. People would want to see the trees but they would run away because there were vampires, and snakes, and mummies and witches and ghosts and goblins and monsters and zombies and skeletons and bats hiding in the trees. All that the people could hear were voices whispering, "I'm going to get you!Boo!"

So all the people would stay away from the forest of trees!

The End!
