Wild Wednesday!

Happy Halloween everyone!  We had so much fun today dressed up and with all the activities we had today.  We started our day with a Halloween fashion show, each student had the opportunity to show off their costumes.  The SK's enjoyed decorating treat bags with stickers to carry all the treats that were given by their fellow students.  I reminded the students that the candy and treats were to be opened at home for their parents to check first.  We explored our sense of touch with fun spooky sensory bags!  The students had to place their hands in a variety of bags that had monster hair, eyes, teeth and fingers (cooked spaghetti, grapes, candy corn and baby carrots).  The students also got to explore their sense of taste, by tasting peanut free Halloween cookies in class.  We ended our day with a few activity sheets, a dance party and a fun house game!
