We have really enjoyed all of our Halloween activities the past couple of weeks!
We have been reading some non-fiction texts about Halloween and have some interesting history lessons about how Halloween started! Ask your kiddo about what they learned in these books!
Not to mention the treats we received today! Wow! Thank you for all the amazing things sent in from families that we got to enjoy today (& bring home!) Enjoy this special day full of Halloween fun! See you all on Monday after the time change!!
- We learned that a Jack a long time ago, didn't make it to heaven so to help him find his way he carved a turnip and put coal inside to light his way. Now we have Jack o' Lanterns.

For DPA (Daily Physical Activity) this week, we enjoyed some Halloween dancing. Here is a little clip of our students dancing away to for our Halloween Dance Party!
We did our October Estimate Jar today too! We have so much fun estimating, counting and seeing who our Estimate Jar winner is! Today, we practiced counting by 5's of our Halloween treats! We had a three way tie, with Logan, Colton and Aidan as our winners with only one number off our real total. Halloween marshmallows were shared with everyone since our friends had lots! These might have been enjoyed at lunch breaks today so you may not see them come home!
We had some Halloween themed centers this week as well to enjoy as we finished up our other important work...the students don't know these were still learning centers...shhh...don't tell!!
We finished up our day with our empathy video about Spookley the Square Pumpkin!
