It's PUMPKIN week!

Get ready for Halloween, it's pumpkin week! We will be doing pumpkin experiments all week, and doing lots of spooky activities. Here is one of the poems we have been acting out. You can recite it with your student at home!

Thanks for Gardening!

What a beautiful day for gardening last weekend. A HUGE thank you to all the parents and young gardeners who came out. Our class will have our own flower bed. We will be planting vegetables too!

 

We read the book, "Hello, Goodbye Window" and painted our own windows of wat we imagine outside our window. We then wrote short poems: Outside my window I see...
Outside my window I see...

To make the window we sketched with pencil first then put painter's tape lightly over the construction paper to make a window pane. Then, we painted the window with watercolors. Finally, we let the windows dry and peeled the tape off to reveal our windows! Ask your student what he/she sees outside the window!

 

 

 

 

Mr. Penton (Lantrip's awesome Literacy Specialist) came to teach our class about the book, "Hello, Goodbye Window." We talked about what we can see outside our window using our brains and our imaginations. He even brought his crazy monkey friend, Marvin! Your student came up with some SMART thinking!

Check out our adventure!

 

We visited Main Street Theatre to see the play of the beloved children's book, Click, Clack, Moo! Thanks to all the parents who came, we had so much fun!
