Halloween Fun

     We are having lots of fun spreading the Halloween fun throughout our curriculum.  We can't get enough.  We have been writing up a storm and I'm seeing improvement with each piece.  Children should know what a sentence is, start them with capital letters, and end them with punctuation.  We will be working more on when to use a question mark in the upcoming weeks.

     We played lots of math games.  Smash it subtraction was a huge hit.  Students walked around the room looking for subtraction sentences.  They then used play-doh to build and smash to find the answer.  Super fun.

     We played both an addition and subtraction game with these fun erasers.

     We have also been making fun fact families with halloween cards.

     Bats have been a hot topic this week.  We painted bats using some of our million paper plates.  We will make pumpkins with more plates tomorrow.  We charted our opinions of bats and read both non-fiction and fiction books about bats.  We even gave Miss Sarah and her dad homework tonight.  After reading Stellaluna, Miss Sarah told us that she and her dad LOVE that book.  The students were writing whether or not they thought the birds and bats would remain friends so we asked Miss Sarah and her dad to write their opinions as well.  I can't wait for everyone to share their thoughts tomorrow.  

     Here is a photo I wanted to share last week of our class being invaded by Creepy Carrots.  

  

   I promised the students I would post these pictures from last summer.  They can explain.  What do you think about this bad?  Creepy or cute?

     We will be having our Halloween party/parade on Friday.  Remember to send an extra snack for  your child and his/her costume to school.  Next Tuesday, Nov. 3rd is election day and NO SCHOOL. Please mark your calendars.  

     

     HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
