We read Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle. And acted out the story.

For our Art Center we stamped bear tracks with potato stamps.

For our Fine Motor Center we strung small pony beads on pipe cleaners. It was a challenge to pick up the small beads, but they did a great job!

For another Skill Center we colored pictures of Brown Bear.

We had a fun visit from storyteller Mary Jo Huff on Thursday. All our little one loved Mary Jo's puppets and stories!

Week of October 30

We had a great Halloween week in Jumpstart!

Our color this week was BLACK.

For a Fine Motor Center we caught ghosts. We used spoons to scoop Lima Bean ghosts into cups.

For another Fine Motor Center we stacked spiders. We put straws in playdoh and stacked spider rings on the straw.

For a Science Center we made a pumpkin volcano on one day. The other day we scooped the insides out of our pumpkin and explored all that was inside.

For our Skill Center we colored BLACK bats.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our party or came and joined us! We had a fun time! We made our own snack mix, made knuckle print pumpkins, played a mummy wrapping game, and danced to our favorite Halloween songs.
