Let's make a potion!

Welcome back Petals! We hope all of you had a lovely fall break.
We began our first day back in an old, familiar way- dancing to our favorite tunes. B requested the “ Penguin Dance” while K, “Baby Shark”. We also filled our classroom with Halloween cheers, with “ The Monster Song” and “The Floor Is Lava- Halloween Edition”.

K: Baby Shark

After an invigorating dance number, we sat down in a circle and welcomed each other with our “Good Morning” and “ How Are You?” song.

T: angry

Next, Evita read Dino-Halloween, a tale where dinosaurs come together to celebrate Halloween. From getting their own pumpkin to going trick or treating, both small and big dinosaurs enjoyed different Halloween festivities.
L: Big (when asked which pumpkin he wanted for Halloween)
D: small
T: a bat. No it’s scary ( haunted house)
E: But I’m not scared
M: Me! ( when asked who wanted to try playing ring-toss game)
K: Popcorn!
L/P: Chocolate
E: I like candies
We then talked about Halloween, Petals friends excitedly shared their costume to the class. Evita then asked, “What colors do we see on Halloween?” Everyone was eager to list colors they see like, orange, white, black, green, and purple.
L: Pirate
T: Monster
E: Ultraman
R: Deer
D: I don’t know. Later ( I’ll tell you)
M: happy
K: Pikachu
B: I don’t know
P: Dragon

R/E: buy it ( when asked if mom made their costume)
L: Mom just bought me Spiderman
Petals: Halloween!
Colors of Halloween
K: Black
E: White
T: I like black
K: Orange
Petals: Green!
L/T: Secondary ( when asked what we call, orange, green and purple)
To make our Halloween lesson more fun, we gathered in a circle around a table where Evita, dressed as a witch, revisited our past lessons on primary and secondary colors and informed the class that we are going to make green, orange, and purple potions. She asked the class which primary colors we need to make Halloween colors. Louis and Brendan helped mix blue and green food color into cups filled with baking soda while R poured vinegar to reveal a bubbling green potion! The excitement grew as we took turns making orange and purple potions.
It was a magical way to start our week, filled with dancing, storytelling and some science magic! We can’t wait to show off our Halloween costumes on Thursday.
Love,
Petals
