Halloween Centers

Halloween was a blast! We loved wearing our costumes to school and our centers were definitely a success. We had a very fun hay ride in the middle of the day, and enjoyed several Halloween stories. Face painting was awesome, and the children loved playing the games and making the snacks. Thank you so much to all of my fabulous volunteers who either donated items or helped run the centers that day! Lots of pictures!

Slimey Buddies

We created slime with our 6th grade buddies. Lots of giggling and oohs and ahs were heard throughout the room. We love reading and working with our buddies. They help us read our books, play math games with us, and now science. The slime was a hit this Halloween season!

Our Pumpkin Patch

Thank you so much for partcipating in our family pumpkin project. The carved pumpkins really had us pumped up to come to school. We loved looking at the different carvings. I could see each child's personality coming through their designs! We toured our pumpkin patch, read by pumpkin light on Thursday in the classroom, and took them into the hall on Friday to display for the school as well as light them up. We participated in a 1st grade hallway GRAB time. We were surprised at how many pumpkin seeds we found in our pumpkins, and loved tasting all the roasted pumpkin seeds. These photos have us posing by our carved pumpkins. Great job!

Our Own Yogi

Today in yoga, Ms. Sarah, had one of our classmates demonstrate a new yoga pose. Way to go!

Student Led Conferences

October conferences were a success! The children loved showing their work to you and setting learning goals. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and we will continue in February with another round. Open House was a success as well. It was a much more relaxed way for the children to show you what they do every day.

Pass the Paper, Please!

After studying wood, we then moved on to paper. We discussed, explored and sorted the various types: corrugated,tagboard, newsprint, cardboard, wax, etc. We experimented with writing on each type using markers, crayons, and pencil. The children loved taking a closer look at something we use everyday! We then used tagboard folders to create our own personal offices. The children enjoyed decorating their spaces and use them as needed to concentrate on their work.
