A Nutty Week!

This week we continued our unit of study on fall.
In science, we estimated how many nuts each container would hold.

Dramatic arts has changed to the camping center.


After estimating, we counted the nuts to find out how many nuts each container actually held.



We wrote a descriptive story about our field trip.


In math, we built scarecrows using pattern blocks and then recreated the scarecrow using paper pattern blocks.


In the writing center, we practiced writing high frequency words.













A Day on the Farm!

In October we enjoyed our 1st field trip to West Oak Farm Days! It was a blustery, chilly, fall day, but we still had fun! The kids loved finding their way through the maze and we didn't loose anyone!
We brushed the cows.




I was happy that no one lost a finger to the horse!


It was a sight watching us load and unload from the hayride. I thought the "van" seat was comical for a hayride! There's a 1st for everything.




We enjoyed playing games at several of the centers.






Biscuits and Apple Butter

The kids loved peeling and cutting apples to make apple butter.


We also made homemade butter to go with our homemade biscuits!












Pumpkin Carving

We had fun voting on a face for our pumpkin and then carved it.


They thought the roasted pumpkin seeds were delicious!
