Halloween Party 11:00 -11:30

Seasons and Patterns in Nature

We are studying seasons and patterns we see in nature.  We read a book called the Tortilla Factory.  The book tells the story of a man who plants corn in the spring, watches it grow in the summer, harvests it in the fall and grinds the corn into flour which is used to make tortillas at the tortilla factory in the winter.  We made our own tortillas at the Miss Becky Tortilla Factory. Below are some photos of the cheap, efficient labor force I have working in my factory.

Upcoming Info:  Each child will need to bring a small pumpkin to class on Tuesday, Oct 30th.  The best pumpkins are the ones sold for pumpkin pies found at Fry's.  Also the kids will be dressing up on the 31th for our Halloween party.  No masks please.   

Fall Break

I realize we all have kids in different school districts which means different Fall Breaks.  I hope the week of Oct 8th - 12th works for most families because that will be our break.  I realize this is a change from the calendar but I think this week works better.  If your child is going to be gone this week please send me a quick email and let me know.  I hope you all enjoy this time with your kids regardless of which week you are on break.

Reptiles and Rascals

We have been studying reptiles and what makes something a reptile.  See if your kids can tell you how reptiles get warm.  Below are a few of my favorite pictures of the week.  These kids are so dang cute.  

DINOSAUR WEEK

It's DINOSAUR WEEK (ok actually it's week one of two fun filled dino weeks)    We are going to be doing fossil rubs and digs.  Your kids will not want to miss these two weeks.  Below are a few photos of last weeks imagination - monster week.

!!!!!!ROAR!!!!!!!

 I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream

YUM

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ― Albert Einstein

This week we are talking about imagination.  If your child comes home talking about monsters, which they probably will, please reassure them that monsters come from our imagination and are not real.  On Thursday we will be making monsters out of empty tissue boxes.  Each child needs to bring an empty tissue box to school on that day. It can be any shape of tissue box. If you happen to have  extra tissue boxes lying around please send them just in case some children forget one.  Thanks Miss Becky

Friendship Ice Cream

This Thursday we will be making Friendship Ice Cream.  Each child will bring an ingredient and we will make ice cream the old fashioned way.  Ok, I am not hand cranking it but that would be super cool.  The ingredient assignments are listed below.  Please bring your assigned ingredient to class on Thursday, not Wednesday as the calendar says.  Thanks for your help with this project.
