Happy Halloween! We had such a fun and busy day! 

​We started our morning by decorating the bags that would hold all of our treats later in the afternoon.

After lunch, our party began. We started our party with a costume parade throughout the school. You can see a video of our parade on Epiphany's Facebook page. Following the parade, we enjoyed some yummy treats while watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. 
How should we finish up our Halloween fun-filled afternoon? How about a dance party?

    • No masks or weapons may be worn with the costumes.
    • Face makeup is fine.
  • Students may bring treats to share with their friends for some “reverse trick-or-treating”.
    • If you are bringing candy or other treats, please bring enough for 40 students.

Today, we learned how to play a new game: Alphabet Bingo! We played the game in teams of 2 or 3 preschoolers. Alphabet Bingo is a great way to practice letter recognition but it's also a great way to practice working together as a team.

My How We Have Grown!

10/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Thank you to all families that sent in information about your preschooler's birth weight and height. Today, we used the birth weight information to do some comparisons. First, we made a stack of blocks that was equal to 7 pounds. (7 pounds was the average number for the birth weights.) We put those blocks in a bag and passed the bag so that we could feel what that much weight felt like. Then, we used a scale to make a comparison between birth weight and our weight today. We have all grown so much! Later this week, we will use the birth length information to make a comparison to our current height.
