What a Week!!

Whew! We have had a whirl wind week! 
We finished up our pumpkin unit on Friday and it was a blast! This post will be mainly pictures so that you can enjoy your little one in action!

During our "Pumpkin Investigation" Zion helped us measure our pumpkin so we would know how many cubes tall it was!

Students were asked to guess how to write the number "201". Mason was the first to write the number the right way!
We counted 201 seeds that were found in our pumpkin!

Students learned a "Say No to Drugs" Song in dance and Music in celebration of Red Ribbon Week!

We were lucky enough to have congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee attend our Red Ribbon Week Rally!

Our Counselor Mrs. Brown talked with us about good ways that we can share our bodies, and what to do if someone makes us feel uncomfortable.
Kaden showed his friends the correct way to get a book in the library.

Practicing the life cycle of a pumpkin!
Kinder students practiced fixing sentence with pumpkin vocabulary.


Did you know that some pumpkins float?

We worked with partners to measure a pumpkin and draw an accurate picture!


Serenity and her friends worked on reading positional words.

We talked about making observation and then recording these observations in our journals.

As we collected data about our pumpkin we recorded it!


We ended our pumpkin party with homemade pumpkin pie! All the students gobbled it up!

We improved our fine motor control by using tweezers to find hidden pumpkins in our sand table!
Each student took a turn scooping out seeds from our pumpkin! They used good describing words like cold and gooey!


We learned about tally marks and voted on the shape of our Jack-O-Lanterns eyes, nose and mouth!

Posing with the finished Jack-O-Lantern!
