Halloween

We had a great day on Halloween! We started the day by getting into costumes and showing off for everyone in the class. Then we began our 1/2 hour pumpkin activity sessions by working on pumpkin math and reading with Mrs. Bracken. We estimated the weight and circumference of a giant pumpkin, and then read a mini-book about costumes and added a picture of ourselves on the last page. Then we headed to Mrs. Dahl's class to play some pumpkin games. After that, we went to Mrs. Winchell's room to hear a pumpkin story and play pumpkin bingo. Our last session was in Mrs. LaPan's room where we learned about bats and made a bat hat. We ended the morning with a parade in our Commons with all of the first graders as we sang "Five Little Pumpkins." It was really fun to go to all of the classrooms for a special activity!
Here we all are in our costumes.
Don't we look great?


No one was too scary.


It's fun to pretend to be someone (or something) else!
We got back in our regular clothes before playtime, and then worked on Red Ribbon Day activities in the afternoon (drug awareness), and also designed and carved a pumpkin .
Thanks to Levi for the great sticker books, and to Sam for an afternoon snack!

I invited everyone to come to my house for Trick or Treats, and quite a few kids showed up. I took a picture by our class pumpkin of everyone who came. It was fun to see all of you, and your brothers, sisters, and friends!









Thanks, kids, for being on your best behavior on a very busy day - you were awesome!
