Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We started the week off learning patterns!!

Then we reviewed our shape of the month... TRIANGLE!!

And made our own Jack-o-Lanterns with NO HELP from the teachers!!

Some of us made happy ones and others made grumpy ones!!

Then it was time for some PUMPKIN SCIENCE!!!!

We learned about all the pumpkin's parts...

We weighed and measured it too!

Some of us thought it was HEAVY!!!

And some of us thought it was light!!!

Then it was time for the great dissection!!

We all got a turn to touch the pumpkin's insides!!!

Then we ALL helped clean it out!!!

Then we recorded our scientific findings in our Science Journals!!

We had a class election and voted for our Jack-o-Lantern's nose, eyes and number of teeth!!

Here we all are with our Election Results!!

We even named her and dressed her up for Halloween!!

Be sure to ask you little scientist all about it!!!

Our Five Day Friends had so much fun working on their fine motor skills!!

Can you guess what we made?!?

Our Afternoon Friends continued the fun with some beading too!!

Halloween was so much fun!!

Look who else got in on all the excitement!!!

Our party was so fun!!

We made witch puppets...

We loved Skelton Limbo!!!

Halloween Games were so much fun!!!

And we danced, danced, danced!!!

It was so much fun!!

Halloween Day was so fun for our Five Day Friends too!!

We combined classes with PreK-4 for a fun filled centers day!!

Then we headed over to the BIG SCHOOL Parade!!

We got a jump start on our turkey making this week!!

And then had so much fun learning to speak "turkey," learning our Turkey Song and Dance and putting the finishing touches on our turkeys!!

They will soon be flying about in our classroom!!

On All Saints Day, we learned about the Saints and that our amazing school is named after one too!!

We also learned that we have some pretty incredible families, that our class is also a family and that we and our families are all part of 

💗💗God's Beautiful Family💗💗.

Although we really need rain right now... we are really enjoying these beautiful sun filled days on our playground!!!!

PreK-3 is nothing short of ELECTRIFYING!!!!!

Hope you all have a FABULOUS week!!!
