Preschool Halloween Parties

A Big Thank You To Our Party Parents!
We enjoyed seeing such an assortment of costumes.  
Halloween activities were in full swing.
November started with our Fall Parent/Teacher 
Conferences.  What a great turnout for the 
opportunity to talk with Moms and Dads.
 The children visited the Church Office 
while parents got ready for the parties

Halloween Cooking

We had so much fun last week in Pathways with our cooking in Room 4! 
We learned about kitchen safety while we made fun Halloween treats.
 We molded spooky fingers out of crescent dough

 We talked about the cooking process: mixing, melting, 
raw vs. cooked, liquid vs. solid, hot vs. cold...
What goes into Rice Krispie treats?

We mixed yellow and red to make our ORANGE DAY snacks!

The kids shaped the treats into pumpkins

What is inside a real pumpkin?  How does it feel?

We baked the seeds so the kids could see them before and after

 We also carved pumpkins on both Thursday and Friday

Stirring up pumpkin muffins!
