5 Little Pumpkins


 
Wednesday and Thursday we will be doing art work based on our poem - 5 Little Pumpkins.

This afternoon the kinders completed their craft - which I will start displaying tomorrow on the classroom walls. 

While students were doing crafts the  center groups were called to another table to design their pumpkin.   This morning they had to "democratically" decide amongst their groups what type of face they wanted on their pumpkins.

There was lots of "ewwww" and "that's disgusting" as they were cleaning out the seeds and pumpkin guck!  And of course there were a few "  This is awesome" aswell .

The remaining three groups who did not get their turn today - will do theirs during center time on Friday.  Pictures will be posted once the other class has their turn!  ( camera is finally charged)






We also had a lice presentation today by a public health nurse from the hospital.  After we got over the initial fear of how big the bugs were, and that no - they are not as big as they are on the screen in real life...     the kids were able to relay back some important things that they learned.
-  we shouldn' t share hats, brushes, hair elastics with others
- lice prefer clean hair - so if you do get lice it's not because you are dirty
- If we have lice we need to wash with a special shampoo
- and   lice can't fly :)
