Catching up on some events so far this year...


Our first field trip this year was to the Mythbusters Exhibit at the Fort Worth Science Museum.  The kids had a great time exploring some myths and busting them! They even did an experiment with a parent- what a good sport!


This is our "Sock" it to drugs from Red Ribbon Week.



 The class loved working on their Native American tribes to share thier learning with the rest of the class.  They made artifacts to show how thier tribed lived.  I was impressed with all they did!





We have Chromebooks this year (we share with another class).  I am loving the ability to use a computer for so many different tasks and they are too!


We have visited the science lab many times already this year- this is just a snapshot of some of the learning taking place.


We love our buddy time and for this day we helped them measure pumpkins and complete a sink or float activity.  Everyone had a grand time!

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!!
