Spooky Fun!

What a cute bunch!


Oh yeah..we spilled the seeds, pumpkin guts, my drink, you name it, we made a mess of it! Mrs. Robinson was impressed when she returned from buying snacks, that we actually finished carving the pumpkin. (I was too!)



With a rainy week and no recess, we made the best of it and played Everyday Math Games on the Smartboard. The kids had so much fun!

They are a competitive group! Can you see the 2 teams?

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Number...we sang the song and pointed to the numbers as we sang!







measuring items using bats and reading about them

building a sentence about what's under our bed

creating our first candy graph


They loved playing the Chicken Game! They had to sort chicken eggs by color. The first person to collect a dozen eggs of the same color had to stand up and cluck like a chicken!


I just love seeing the kids use a dictionary to find words!


Spin a Number game...we played it on the Smartboard and then could play it in the math center.




This was the first week of using the wooden blocks. We usually don't bring out the wooden blocks until January, but this class truly loves to build! As you can see, they were ready for them.

They had to think hard to come up with great descriptive words for their monster story.


Writing Cc words in the writing center


In the writing center, they had to put their 1st and last name together and practice writing it.



This week we started using our Reading Buckets! This kids are doing a fantastic job and love doing it!


We read out of our buckets each morning, after completing our morning center.




Their favorite stories in the reading center are the books we've made in class.

Monster Madness

Each week, we complete a page in our ABC book.
We learned how to use a dictionary.

This group decided to write the ABC's. What a great idea!


What's that smell?




We painted monsters in the art center.





On Fridays, we have free choice painting.


After our paintings dried, we used markers to add details to our monster. We can't wait to display our beautiful art work.
