Halloween
2007-2008

 

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. Prizes were awarded for the Halloween pumpkin decorating contest. Third grade winner was Kelly Cooper!

Classroom fun began the moment we entered the room. We shared treats...not a single trick.! 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!
