October 31 Happy Halloween- Photos!

Photo heavy, word light.  In case you were wondering what was on everyone's mind today...Our Halloween Party!!!

Creepy Crafts!

Beanbag Toss

Halloween BINGO!

"Smarty" pants!

Eating Our Homemade Carmel Apples!

Messy But FUN!

Amazing Planning Committee and Party Workers!

       

I am so impressed!  If laughter, giggles, messy faces and hands are any indication of a good party, this one was a blast!  A huge thanks to Carole, Katie, Nicole, Rosemary and Andrea. 

Have fun tonight!  Happy Halloween!

Tomorrow is Halloween and I feel the excitement in the air.  For the month of November, the students are designing the calendar pieces.  I have asked them to think of 3 things that November makes them think about.

Please be on the lookout in student backpacks today for several pieces of "mail" for you, the parents.  

News and compliments from the day:

"We liked writing our math story problems." Cole & Zac
"It was nice when Ava read Amelia Bedelia with me." Katie
"I liked reading with Savannah, Colin and Sami," Grace
"When I asked Catalina to read a story with me, she said yes." Madeline
"Kora, Lainey, and Hannah were nice to me today." Savannah
"I liked our ant project today.  We made a little book that tell about the jobs ants have in the ant colony." Colin
"I enjoyed listening to "Are You and Ant" book." Peter
"I liked the book "13 Nights of Halloween" Sami

See you all tomorrow!  Remember, no costumes, but bring your great attitudes and smiles!

Hello!  October is zooming by...I can't believe it will be November this week!

Today we were very busy.  Here are news reports and compliments from today:

"When I could not find a learning partner on the carpet, Savannah said she would be my partner." Aoife
"I liked it when Katie helped me round up the pencils to sharpen." Madeline
"I liked the art- we used liquid glue and tissue paper and I have never done that kind of art before!" Calvin and many other students
"I liked designing the ant math story problems. "William and Teddy
"Reading the story Two Bad Ants was fun because it is told from an ant's point of view." Grace

As you can see, we were very very busy today!

Just a reminder:  Please have your student complete any work attached to the homework cover sheet.  This work reinforces math concepts learned at school.  Your child gains much understanding with your one-on-one support.  Thanks!

See you tomorrow!

October is flying by!  Speaking of flying, today we created folded paper owls for seasonal decorations.  They are decorating our lockers for now, but we can take them home on Friday so they can decorate your home!
"I liked art!" Calvin

"I liked making paper owls and sorting buttons into groups of 10's and 100's" Aoife

"Catalina complimented my owl." Hannah
"At recess when nobody would play with me, Riley did!" Grace.

Just a reminder, I am still in need of small plastic containers for art.  If you have yogurt, cream cheese or other similar sized containers, send them on in!  Thanks!
