Halloween came early

So I was thinking... that Halloween is fun after all. During the past few years, Halloween has not ranked highly on my favorite holiday list; however, this year Halloween came a little early at my school and it was quite spooktastic!

Each month, the teachers at my school provide treats for the lounge, it is one of our favorite days of the month! This year I volunteered to supply the decorations for our Halloween themed party! With a little research I found some fabulous ideas and re-created them with my own twist.

Step into our shabby-chic Halloween event!

Get your taste buds ready for some yummy treats!

I used all of my new Halloween adjectives to create these fun place cards to display in front of the treats that the first grade teachers and a few friends brought. 

 

Cute peeping cheese cakes and Mummified pigs in a blanket! Yum, yum!

Now on to some fun decorations. 

I whipped up this bow with some ribbon from Dollar General ($1.50!) I loved making the Trick or Treat banner, inspired by this pinterest find.

 Cute paper pumpkins(be looking for a tutorial later; and some lovely flowers

Hope these help with your holiday decorating!!

This past week we celebrated the end of October with our Pumpkin rotation party. After relaxing and realizing that a little chaos is okay for one day. Boy did they have fun! Here are some of our fun creations!

Yummy Snacks

After our pumpkin counting activity, the parent who led the station with the help of a few of my kiddos created this wonderful creation for me to keep! I was so excited to take it home for my doorstep!

We ended the week with making long i kites to practice our long i words. I think they turned out pretty cute myself. They are floating around my classroom now!

This week we started learning about the first people in America, the Native Americans. Here are some fun activities we are doing this week. 

Our Native American fact book, where we record our fun facts, and a fun paper plate activity that I am using for one of my stations. Everyday this week we have been brainstorming our Native American names and we are excited to make our headdresses on Friday! I will let you know how it goes, for my Camp friends can you guess what my Native American name will be?? 

Winnataska! 

Of course, it means land of laughing water

Catch you up in a few!
