Number 6

 Dice Game: Roll dice, count dots, circle corresponding number. We played if you got the same number twice, you re-rolled until you had all 6 numbers circled. 

 The first round we circled in red, then we played again and circled the numbers in purple. We pointed out the ones that were the same/different.

Overall, this took a bit of explaining, but it's pretty easy to take out and practice any time. I laminated it and we'll do it again (good for sharpening dice counting skills too..).

Grouping and a few tracing worksheets.

Sticker book (N lined the stickers up so nice--he's a cutie):

Counting fishy crackers (going along with Ff week really well!)...

As we always do, this week we had a few meltdowns and a few silly moments...

Halloween 2011

We did start the day off eating apples... :)

 We did lots of projects throughout our day: coloring by letter a spider, doing a cauldron maze, drawing what we would look like in our costumes, coloring pictures of who we were going to be, pictures of candy and pictures of trick-or-treating...

 We colored pasta during the day and later that night made pumpkins out of pasta. To die the pasta, you put the pasta, squirts of antibacterial soap, and food coloring in a ziploc, shake, and let dry on a cookie sheet (super easy and the kids loved it)... 

 We made spiders using baby food jar lids and used those in our spider web game later that night (electrical tape looks like spider web, stay on the tape and don't fall off while you collect the spiders)...

We also made pumpkin sun catchers...

 Isaiah had the cutest shirt on that said "I love my mummy" with a mummy on it, but his diaper leaked all over it before I got a good picture! Here he is crawling all over the place while the older boys do their projects!

 We carved a pumpkin...

 We read Halloween stories...

 My "spiderman" put up a few webs...

 I hid a bunch of pumpkins and the kids did a treasure hunt for them...

 Isaiah conked out on the floor...

 We made caramel apples...

 We did some photo shoots...

 We ate a lot of candy...

 We had several tears...

 We had a costume dance to the tune of "Monster Mash"...

 And I handed out our prizes...Gavin won: Best 'Costume Dance' Moves, Coral: Most 'Lady-like' Costume (she was a ladybug), Nehemiah: Most 'Powerful' Costume (he was quite the spider web thrower), and Elijah: Most 'In Character' (the cutest nuh nuh nuh nuh BATMAN ever)...

 Did I mention we ate a lot of candy?
