This week we began our Halloween celebration by reading “Go Away Big Green Monster” by Ed Emberley. After we read the story, the children and I looked through the book and step-by-step drew our own big, green monster. We talked about colors, curvy lines vs. straight lines, and shapes. This was a great interactive reading activity, and the children were very engaged in the whole process.
We also painting “magic” spider webs. I drew webs with white crayon on white paper, and the children had to discover the secret picture by painting over it with black paint.
