***Note: This is only for Ms. Mary's class

Yesterday we read the story "Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin, Pie."  We worked on the following vocabulary words:

We found a pumpkin that had a vine coming out of the top.

We also learned about the word decorate.  We used a picture of a living room and added Halloween stickers to it as decorations. These are great sticker pads I would recommend getting for you child. You can get them here

We also did the following story.  Show your child the story and ask the to tell it to you!

1. Molly wanted to have a surprise Halloween party for Matt.  She had to decorate her house before the party.

2.  Molly put up all the decorations around the house.  She saw Matt coming down the stairs, so she turned off the lights.  

3. It was so dark in the house, and Matt couldn't see!

4. Molly turned on the lights and said "Surprise!"  Matt was so happy to see all of the Halloween decorations!
