Happy Halloween!

We had an incredible day today! We started with skittles math. Students came up with questions they had about a bag of skittles. We then sorted, counted and graphed what we saw before we ate them!  We solved some Halloween word problems in math and then explored skittles for a fun science experiment. Students made observations and recorded their findings in their science notebooks. They loved it so much that we are going to try a few other experiments tomorrow. Later in the day I  read  spooky/silly stories and then students read about the history of Halloween. We ended the day learning about spiders and how they move in order to get food. Students created their own orb weaver, crab or jumping spiders to see how they move. Be sure to ask your child about our fun day of learning!

Mazza’s Pumpkin Patch

We had an incredible trip to the pumpkin patch on Monday! We had a lovely walk from school to the pumpkin patch. We then enjoyed a tractor ride, students picked their pumpkins and had a special treat. After our donut and cider, students had some time to feed the animals and play on the playground before we walked back to school. It was a great way to start the week. Later that afternoon, we weighed and measured our pumpkins and spent some time writing a huge list of adjectives to describe our pumpkins. We will now use that list to write pumpkin poetry and do some scientific writing about pumpkins. Be sure to ask your kiddo about our fun field trip!
