Fabulous Friday!

 

We always try to have a lot of fun with learning on Fridays! That is why we call it "Fabulous Friday". Today, we did sight word races, practiced writing our sight words in shaving creme, and graphed Starburst candy to go along with our "space" theme! We had a great day!

 

 

 

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving



 

Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving, "Charlie Brown" style.  We watched a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and then replicated the "feast" that Charlie Brown made for his friends in the show.  It was a very odd snack but lots of fun!  Sorry about the picture quality.  I forgot my camera and had to use my phone- which doesn't take great pictures.

 

 

Fall Party

Our first party of the year went really well thanks to our hardworking homeroom moms!  Thanks to everyone that helped contribute to the party as well.  We couldn't have done it without you!

Red Ribbon Week

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

We had such a great time on our first field trip-even though we were rained out.  The kids got to take a hayride to the Christmas tree farm, shoot a corn cannon, ride a cow train, bounce on the corn jump, and have a picnic lunch!

Community Helpers

 

We have been learning this week about community helpers. As a special treat, we had a visitor from our local police department to talk about his job. We even got to look inside his police car!

 

 

 

Transportation

We have been discussing different modes of transportation this week.  Airplanes are always a favorite to children so we thought we would have some fun with it.  We learned how to fold paper airplanes and then had a distance competition to see whose plane flew the farthest.  Unfortunately it rained so we were unable to go outside to do it.  We made due with our hallway though.   I explained to the children afterwards that this is the one and only time they would be able to make paper airplanes at school.  I was worried that I may see all of their classwork made into airplanes!



Our winner!  Her plane went really far!

 

Apple Week

This week was our apple week!  We did so many fun things while we learned about apples.  We had a guest speaker from the Rogers Historial Museum that taught us the history of harvesting apples and also about some of the different kinds of apples.  We compared our apples, had an apple taste test, estimated,  and measured our apples. On Friday, we made pink cinnamon applesauce from the apples that the children brought.
