Friday

We had a very busy and productive morning! We started off brainstorming about things we find in nature. These ideas are important for an art project coming up soon. I couldn't believe how many different and creative things they came up with. We then enjoyed an early fruit break so we could go to Spanish. Elena drove to D.C. today to pick up our Bolivian Exchange Students, so we had Bernie for Spanish. Bernie is a parent at CS and was Elena's substitute last year for 6 weeks while she was in Boliva with our CS students.With Bernie, they turned pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns and made paper bag puppets. Their puppets will come home today, but not their jack-o-lanterns, you'll receive those at conferences.

After Spanish class, the children came in for a story. I read Corduroy's Best Halloween Ever by Don Freeman and Lisa McCue. At the beginning of this story, Corduroy goes to the pumpkin patch with his friends. Since we'll be going on Monday, we did a journal page after the story was over about what we think we might see at the pumpkin patch when we go.

Then we worked a little more on our chart of real things and make-believe things. We had a great end to our school week!


DON'T FORGET!!!! We're going to Jeter Farm on Monday!! Unless you're driving your child, we will need their labeled car seat dropped off with them in the morning. THANKS!
