Today was a FABULOUS day! This morning we read Time for Kids and also continued working on nouns. We have learned SO MUCH about nouns - what they are, how to abbreviate them, the rules for pluralizing nouns, and we're not even finished yet!
During math, we had a guest, a student teacher, teach a fun lesson about adding and subtracting! The kids had a great time adding and subtracting and reviewing fact families.
The morning Co-Curricular was Engineering Technology. During lunch our room was transformed into a spooky Halloween haven which really made it exciting for the kids to come back after lunch. Thank you SO MUCH to all the parents and students who helped by bringing in decorations and sharing their time! I hope you all get to stop in on Monday to see it!
This afternoon we performed our King Midas play, the kids did an incredible job! They blocked and prepared their lines themselves. It was wonderful. We had four people videotaping so we'll have a motion picture available for your entertainment very soon! We had a wonderful student read some of The BFG, thanks Ian! Finally we had a great science lesson in the lab. We talked about sloped land and how it impacts erosion, water flow, and sediment. Then, we planted seeds in our stream tables. The kids were so fabulous in the lab that they earned an extra recess.
ABOUT MONDAY: PLEASE NO COSTUMES, FACE PAINT, WACKY PAINTED HAIR-DOs, ETC. UNTIL 1:20 PM WHEN WE CHANGE FOR THE PARADE AND PARTY.
