Worm Challenge Activity (Optional):
Many animals are “color coordinated” with their surroundings. Any coloration, body shape, or behavior that helps an animal hide is called camouflage.
With the help of a few simple household items, you can take children outside to explore this concept.
  • Collect equal amounts of small, biodegradable objects in at least three colors that can be used to represent “worms” in an outdoor setting.
  • Consider the tri-colored rotini or spiral pasta noodles, pieces of yarn, or shreds of paper.

Once outside:

  • Spread or hide your colored objects (“worms”) in a defined area
  • Have children “fly” around as birds and try to find the “worms”
Children will most likely find the least camouflaged objects first. If your first trial was on grass, try the same exercise again on asphalt, or within a forested area.

After completing the activity, ask:

  • What color was easiest to find? What color was hardest to find? Why?

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Kindergarten was very fun today.  All of our arrival centers were about Halloween. We printed halloween words, played bingo, roll and count game with rings, crafts etc. We loved seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes!  We drew pictures of ourselves in our Halloween costumes in our journals.  Some of us drew pictures of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and trick or treating with our families.  We used Smarties to sort by color and graph the number of Smarties in the box.  Ask your child what color they had most in their box.  After students graphed their Smarties, they got to eat them.  This was the highlight of their day! All students had gym today with Mr. Der . What game did your child play today? Ask them to share. Students came home with overflowing colored folders.  Please empty the folders out and return them on Monday.  Every child has more book circles in their folders.  Thank you for continuing to read with your child and send the circles back.  We are
