H is for Halloween & Harvest!!

Since this was the week of Halloween there was no skirtin' around a "H is for Halloween" learning week.  And because Halloween fell on a Wednesday, we used a "H is for Harvest" theme for the later part of the week.  The crazies did everything from making witch hats to learning about pumpkin life cycles.  Deacon was introduced to connect the dots & picked it up super quickly. Oopsey Daisy blog http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/mommy-school has a great H is for Halloween packet with movement cards, puzzles, & printables -- I used alot of that with Kennedy & it's colorful & she loved it!  Deacon also learned how to draw a heart & I caught him writing his first "sentence"... it was too sweet to not post.  The crazies also played Hungry Hippos for the first time -- since it starts with "H" I thought it would be a fun game to introduce & they have played it daily since.  There was alot of fun in the house with the Halloween & Harvest theme & they learned more than they knew they did!
