We've had an awesome past couple of school days! Friday was full of excitement as the children got dressed in their Halloween costumes. Thanks again to Rita Patel for coming in to help us get dressed. We then marched outside and gathered for our Halloween Parade. Our class, along with all of the other elementary classes, had a parade around campus to show off our awesome costumes. After the parade and a couple photo shoots (be sure to check out our Halloween Fun album) we gathered back in the room for a special treat from Michi. Michi and the Bolivian students served us apple cider and doughnut holes. We then began our Halloween Party. The children rotated through activities in our room, Tulie's room, and Ruth Ann's room. In our room, we made Halloween cards and iced homemade pumpkin muffins with cinnamon cream cheese icing. Yum! Only one child didn't like the pumpkin muffins, so I guess one out of twenty-six isn't too bad! :) While in Tulie's room, the children played a spooky, yet fun version of musical chairs. Ask your child how they played. In Ruth Ann's room, the children beaded a bracelet with Halloween beads and assembled a jack-o-lantern. After recess we had a picnic in Ruth Ann's and Tulie's rooms.
Good thing we're at the beginning of the month because morning meeting had to be quick today! We went to Emilie's room in middle school for a puppet show on energy this morning. We learned about different types of natural energy and how to preserve it. Emilie's class did an excellent job and had all of the children captivated by their voices and beautiful puppets. We then had fruit break and fruit break recess before heading to Kim's class for Music. Ask your child what instrument they got to play today.
SEE YOU AT CONFERENCES TOMORROW!
Note:
- Please check out the post below to double-check your conference time. Keep in mind that your child should come with you to their conference. Their conference is their time to shine and show you what we have been working on!
- Our playdough maker for the month of November is Ashlynn C. You can bring it in anytime this week!
- We're in need of plastic spoons!!! We've run out and need more. If you can send some in that would be awesome! Many of our classmates use them with their lunch. We also use them during food activities. Thanks in advance.
