Thanksgiving Feast

Our Thanksgiving Feast was celebrated by sharing fruit and popcorn.
We dressed like indians and pilgrims. We learned how much the indians helped the pilgrims long ago when the pilgrims arrived in our country.

Turkeys in Disguise

Our bulletin board was really great with all the turkeys
dressed in disguise. The families worked hard to create this scene.

Reading Buddies

 Our High School Reading Buddies had some great stories and activities for us last week. Thank you very much for visiting our room.

Halloween



We made our own cookies for Halloween.



They were really good!

First Field Trip

Our first field trip was to the Community Arts Center to see The Velveteen Rabbit. It was a great show and everyone enjoyed it. When back at school we made mask to remind us of the main character in the show.

Fire Prevention Week

We learned many valuable lessons during Fire Prevention week. Pictured are fire fighters showing the class the fire engines and equipment used to save people in emergency situations.

 We ended our month with Johnny Appleseed Day. Many apple treats were shared with the class. We  thank everyone that donated such delicious snacks for the class to share. The class made apple sauce with apples brought in by the boys and girls. Everyone enjoyed it!

When our activities ended we were able to use some new technology to see how much we learned. Our class is fortunate to have activotes in our room this year. I was able to see if everyone could sequence the events in making apple sauce. I also found out their favorite snack items . Ask your children about our voting and hear how excited they are. It is a great to tool and I will be using this all year.

Constitution Day  was this month. We enjoyed learning about the laws of our country and the men that  made them. We also made some comparisons to the rules in our classroom.   A memory game of famous people and places was played by all at the end of our day.

September was a time of learning . We learned many things and  one thing was about circus animals. At the end of our lessons we had the chance to make foam animals to take home.

Playtime
