Happy Halloween

Today we had a fun Halloween Party. We made popcorn hands, decorated pumpkin cookies, and worked on other fun crafts. We got prizes after we finished our crafts. Mrs. Kitson read us a story about Hobgoblins. It was a five senses story. We smelled a fire pot. Tasted special silver morsels, patted and ate a slippery worm, felt rain falling and listened to a thunderstorm. We also saw a sparkly green light and looked through a special green paper. It was a cool story. At the end of the day we had a Halloween Building challenge. We tried to build the tallest tower with marshmallows, chocolates and cookies. The best part was eating our tower. It was a silly, spooky day in Kindergarten.
