Our
Halloween Party! We had such a great Halloween this year. It all started with a Halloween Parade on a beautiful 70-ish fall day! Parents were everywhere and the children looked stunning in their Halloween costumes. The parade ended in the gym where each class made a grand entry and the children sang Halloween songs. Both Reader of the Month and Citizen of the Month awards were given, as well as prizes for the Halloween estimating contest. Classroom fun began the moment we entered the room. We decided to take a Walk for Fitness along the new course to start earning miles for our class. Upon returning to the classroom we shared treats...not a single trick...and spent a fair amount of time painting pumpkins. Here are some photos of our day! |

Pumpkin Math What better way to learn about measurement than to have some fun with pumpkins! The week was filled with learning about units of measure (inch, foot, centimeter, ounce, pound), using a ruler, scale, and tape measure, estimation, addition, subtraction, comparing numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to, and use of correct labels and vocabulary terms. The children learned to work in cooperative partnerships as they traveled to the weigh station, height station, and circumference station. They measured and weighed and checked and rechecked. They followed directions as they traveled from station to station and were enthralled with the fun of it all. The data collection sheet was one that required them to really read, think, understand, and do. It was challenging and everyone had a blast! |
