Mid-October

We've been practicing our Halloween songs; decorating our classrooms; and working on lots of ghosts, pumpkins, bats, owls, and monsters!  Our class Halloween parties will be on Monday 10/30 and Tuesday 10/31.  Keep an eye out for additional info from your child's teacher.

Below are the words to our Halloween songs if you'd like to sing them too!















Five Little Witches
There were five little witches flying in the air, flying in the air, flying in the air. (Fly hand like a broom)
There were five little witches flying in the air
For this is Halloween!
There were four little skeletons jumping up and down... (Shrug shoulders up and down.)
There were three little ghosts that were scaring everyone....(Boo!)
There were two little goblins saying “Trick or treat!”...
There was one little pumpkin swinging on a gate...(Sway back and forth.)

Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!

Stirring the Brew
Stirring and stirring and stirring the brew (Pretend to stir something in a big pot.)
Whooo-ooo! Whooo-ooo! (Put hands near mouth and wiggle fingers.)
REPEAT
Tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe—BOO! (Use fingers to tip-toe in the air until BOO!)

Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Pumpkin, pum pkin, round and fat (Hold hands out to sides like a round pumpkin.)
Turns into a jack-o-lantern (Twirl hands.)
Just like that! (Bring hands out to side with palms up, then clap on THAT.)

Johnny Appleseed Blessing
The Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun and the rain and the apple seed

The Lord is good to me!
