New Unit on Eating Healthy

This week we are starting a unit on eating healthy and the food groups.  We have been talking about this throughout the Halloween season.  This time of year, we all have food on our minds, so the class with learn how to make good choices about food.

Happy Halloween!

MONSTER MAYHEM!!!!

Today we read monster books, made paint blob monsters, danced the Monster Mash and the Monster Pokey.  At recess, we used the hollow tree stump to make monster stew.  We even wrote our own monster 

song:  

If You're A Monster and You Know It

If you're a monster and you know it...

show your teeth (Harris)

If you're a monster and you know it...

Stomp your claws ( Pax & Jupiter)

If you're a monster and you know it...

Scare your friends (Maryn)

If you're a monster and you know it...

Pop your eyes (Royce)

If you're a monster and you know it...

Growl and Roar (Ethan)

If you're a monster and you know it...

Shake your tail (Tilda)

Field Trip

Pinkalicous   

We are taking a field trip on Wednesday, October 24th to the Roanoke Children's Theater.  Remember to leave your child's car seat by the fence on Wednesday morning.

Today we will listen to the original Goldilocks story.  

Then we will read the Mo Willems version and talk about the similarities and differences.

We just can't get enough of Mo Willems!!! 

He's our favorite!

Turtle hunters

The weather today was perfect for a turtle hunt along the creek.  We took a short walk over to Hollins to explore the sunny banks of the creek.  We didn't find a turtle, but we did find a school of fish in a shallow pool.  When we got back to campus, we went to Emilie's class in Middle School to meet her turtle, Taco.
