What a busy week we had this week. From starting our week with our Halloween Celebration and ending with gearing up for Thanksgiving we are full steam ahead until Winter Break! I can't believe how fast it is going but as the saying goes "Time flies when you're having fun" :)
Halloween Celebration!
After having a regular morning despite the costumes the kids were ready for some pumpkin themed fun! We started by reading The Monsters Monster which inspired our Frankenstein drawings that you will see below, then students got to rotate between 4 stations: water coloring our Frankenstein's, pumpkin pattern blocks and spooky forest coloring station and finally cotton ball ghosts! We finished off our celebration with "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and of course some treats! Everyone had a great time!

Nutrition
We have the wonderful opportunity to work with OSU's nutrition services who comes once a month to teach our class about feeding our bodies healthy foods and taking good care of ourselves. This week we talked about food groups and made "Food Group Friends." The students loved making their friends and counting how many different food groups they had used in their snack! Periodically I will be sending home information about what we are doing in class along with recipes and ideas for your to try at home!
Thankful Turkeys
With Thanksgiving right around the corner we have begun talking about what it means to be thankful. This week we made Thankful Turkeys that have items we are thankful for listed on the feathers. The students were AMAZING at coming up with what they were thankful for and took the project so seriously! I was very impressed and they turned out so well. I mean look at that writing! So great!
We are getting ready for progress reports by doing lots of assessments and of course more thanksgiving activities until Thanksgiving break! Can't wait to see what adventures we have next!
Smiles,
Miss Adams
