Hello! Today it was evident that friends were VERY excited for both the WF Halloween Parade and Halloween. There was lots of discussion about costumes and showing of sparkly shoes and Halloween masks and so much more. Teachers often had to explain, we will get costumes on after snack time!

To finish off our week of Halloween-themed activities, Ms. Melinda and friends baked the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin we carved earlier. Friends had lots of fun using their sense of smell to choose which spices to put on the seeds! Cinnamon was the winner.

Next, friends were invited to create their own English muffin jack-o-lantern for snack. Friends were very particular about the placement of their raisins, pumpkin seeds, pretzels, etc.

So much focus and concentration!

Although they might not look like pumpkin faces to an adult eye, for the Wee Frienders the process of creating was very satisfying.

We look forward to seeing you at the parade! –Jessica
