Hi! WOW, what a week we have had! We had lots of fun while putting in some hard work! On Monday, Firefighter Pete came in and talked about smoke alarms with us. He talked about having a plan on what to do if one went off in our house and how important it is to have a meeting place.
We learned about the artist Edvard Munch who painted The Scream. We tried painting our own versions and had fun putting ourselves in the picture! We then wrote Haiku (a type of poetry that follows the pattern of 5,7,5 as it counts syllables each line) about our pictures.
We did a Math Scoot in the hall in which we had to find our problems and then put the answers on our clipboards.
We made jack-o-lanterns for our classroom window.
We finished our book series, Pixie Tricks. We were sad but happy to celebrate 8 great books! We figured out Beastie Bites in the Guess Box. We made fairy houses in the woods. It was amazing to see everyone working together so well! We got our own bag of tricks...just like Sprite had! We are now official Pixie Trickers! Sorry about the Pixie Dust...we had lots of transporting being done!
We had Flex Friday. There were so many great options this month! It was really hard to choose! Ask your child where s/he went. If you haven't seen Spooky Space at the Planetarium yet, it is amazing! I saw it for the first time today. They are showing it on Sunday from 2:00-3:00. Then at 4:00 they are showing The Monster Mash which is a musical adventure. You can get tickets online or by calling the planetarium directly.
Tonight is the Hullabaloo and Trunk or Treat. It runs 5:00 - 6:30. I am going to be away so feel free to email me some pics if you get any. I love seeing the kids in costume! Our UMaine student, Ms. Valentin is going to try to be there to see our kids in person!
Reminder: No costumes on Thursday but we will be doing some special activities!!
