On Monday, Halloween day, I read
Where's My Mummy?, then we created the following mummies from Deanna Jump's Where's-my-Mummy-literature-unit. Her unit, available on Teachers Pay Teachers, has the dimensions for creating the mummy craft. Instead of having my kiddos turn squares into circles as the directions call for, I took the dimensions and made patterns that I traced and cut out ahead of time. Although it gives the artwork more personality to have the kids cut the corners and round out the points, I knew this would be a difficult task for my preschoolers. Nonetheless, each mummy is slightly different and mummy-rific!
I also had my class sequence the ghosts (from A Place Called Kindergarten) during center time:
Today, despite the snow we had over the weekend, we began a "Leaves" theme. I was tempted to do a snow activity, but I stuck to my original plan and read The Leaves on the Trees. We then fingerpainted fall trees. Pictures coming soon!
