It's almost time for Trick or Treat!

This week was fun filled learning and busy with activities and projects! We read great stories about perspective and created kites just like the ones from Henry and the Kite Dragon. Then we focused on what it means to be a buddy and not a bully. Our group lesson with K and 2nd was a great success and we spread the word about how to be a good friend! We also continued on our quest to find out what makes insects and arachnids different and unique. Tune in next week when we take a web walk around school and create our own classroom web!





We all took the pledge to be buddies!!


 Check us out in our cool Halloween masks!!!

Happy Friday!


                            Here we are working hard in our reading groups on responding activities.

 In Social Studies this week we learned about the four seasons and created charts labeling them with examples of things we like to do during each season!
 Today we celebrated breast cancer awareness month by dressing down and donating money to a great cause!

 We also worked in groups to practice our map skills.

 We also love working in our listening center during reading groups.
 October is dental health month and Kindergarten and 1st grade got a fun visit from a local dentist where we learned all about ways we can care for our teeth. Then we watched a Sid the Science Kid episode on our pearly whites and created fun mobiles to remind us to brush, floss and rinse every day!
