BOO to all!
Greetings from our spooky computer lab at Cottonwood Creek! We have been working like little busy bats to get our room looking like a true Halloween fun house! It has been a very fast going month with all the different projects we have worked on. We've place a lot of effort in decorating this room to get it to look just right! Starting with the haunted tree we reworked (recycled) from being a happy giving tree that we used last year for Thanksgiving, see the picture I have attached first as opposed to what we transformed it to now! I had them color and cut some fun little bats that we then folded the wings so they seem to move when the air hits them. We then added a few more branches, scary eyes and a mouth and printed out a moon a witch going across it to give everything a more real feeling.
Like always we had to update our story land wall to go along with the season, so we picked Halloween themed coloring pages and wrote a story about what we colored! The children always enjoy this because they enjoy going up to the wall and reading what they wrote with the rest of the children! As I mentioned before, we did some reusing of crafts we made last year, I save a few that were extraordinary and knew they were going to look great this year along with what we were going to craft, so as an example I hung some of the cute little witches from last year and decorated them with some bats as you can see in one of the photos below. The real fun was the funny little skeletons we made with the little pet cat and pumpkin we had fun getting them in all sorts of funny poses and setting the pumpkins in different ways for them to carry! Our classroom looks so festive and fun and the kids really enjoy this time of year because we go bananas decorating! I love it!!!
