Pumpkins of Fun!!

We survived our first field trip this week!  We had the most amazing time and lots of different activities.  We went on an awesome hayride, played on a huge playground with a maze, dressed a scarecrow, watched a flick on all different kinds of pumpkins and how much work it takes to grow them, and lastly we roasted marshmallows!!  The kids were able to choose a small pumpkin (or two) before we left and the teachers got a pumpkin too!
 
 
This was so much fun- roasted marshmallows!!

The children picking their pumpkins :)
 

I am so thankful my husband went on the field trip with us, he snagged this awesome pumpkin for our classroom!

This is what the pumpkin looked like before we dug it out.
 
 
This is the pumpkin after they dug it out.  They did a great job!!


 
To be a part of the voting season, we had our own election in the classroom. We voted for our Class Olympian for the 1st 9 weeks. We talked about the character rings and that we needed to think of someone who demonstrated those character rings daily.  We then made posters of who we wanted to vote for and why we thought they would be a good candidate.
 
 
 
Voting day came!  Each student had to show their Voter registration card before they could vote. They turned out so cute!


 
After they voted they got to color and wear their own sticker to show they voted!
They had so much fun!!

On a totally unrelated topic- I thought I would show the growth of our beans in the garden. So Cool!!

Week 6

To end our pattern unit and to go along with the sounds of /s/, we made some silly sock patterns!!  They turned out so cute!!



We finally made it back out to our garden to plant some beans! I don't have a green thumb, so we will see if they grow!



This was a great, but sad week- we had to say good-bye to Ms. B. She left us to go to a 2nd grade classroom.  To send her off we made her a keepsake of us and some great gifts to start her own classroom!  She will be missed, but we wish her well on her journey in the teaching world :)

Week 4

What a great week we had!
In math we learned about positional words.
In reading & writing we read & wrote about what families can do. Our new sight word this week was: the. We learned how to spell it through a song & sign it!
In science we learned about our 5 senses with a great popcorn experiment & some of us got to go visit our garden too!
To top it all off we had Run for the Rings on Friday! What a fun experience that was!
