What a spooky week of learning we had in CSSI!  

We had so much exploring academic concepts with a Halloween theme.  One of our favourite math centres was picking "ghostly numbers" to practice our one-to-one correspondence counting skills. 

We learned some new Halloween vocabulary words by reading a Halloween poem.  Each student even had the opportunity to come up in front of the class and read the poem, with teacher support.

We did a Halloween Bingo game that had us matching pictures to our game card.  We all worked hard at matching and did very well.

In art, we made "cotton-ball ghosts".  This project allowed us to strengthen our fine-motor skills when using glue and cotton to cover our ghosts.  It was also good practice for us to get our fingers wet with glue and wait until the end to clean them.  The ghost looked great on our classroom door and lots of students said that they looked so scary!  

Lastly, we carved pumpkins, with full-adult support for our classroom on Halloween.  We all enjoyed watching the different coloured lights that were inside the pumpkin!

Have a safe Halloween and see everyone on Monday.
