Spooky Season at the Academy of Westhaven!

 




What a magical week we had at preschool! Our classrooms were full of creativity, laughter, and a little bit of Halloween Spirit as we explored fun fall activities together. Here are a few highlights from our week: 


Fine Witches Motor Broom Activity 

Our young friends worked on their fine motor skills this week with our "Fine Witches Motor Broom" challenge! The children used beads, pipe cleaners, and tongs to create tiny spooky treasures! This playful activity strengthened hand muscles and coordination - all while sparking imagination and giggles. 




Boo Houses

Our classrooms turned into little construction zones as we made Boo House! Using cardboard boxes, paint, construction paper, and fun Halloween stickers, the children worked together to build and decorate their own haunted houses! This activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, and some crafty fun! 





Pajama Day 

We ended our week with a cozy pajama day! Everyone came to school in their favorite PJ's, ready for a day filled with stories, songs, and warm, fuzzy fun! We read bedtime themed books, sipped on pretend cocoa, and even had a special "dreamy" dance party! It was the perfect way to end our busy week! 

We're so proud of how engaged and excited our preschoolers were this week. Each activity helped build important early learning skills - while keeping the magic of the season alive. We can't wait to see what fun next week brings!
