Fall Centers

Thank you to Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Moose for helping us with this fun learning experience!

 The students enjoyed making a candy corn hand print and a pumpkin glyph.

 Our first time using QR codes in the classroom.  Students used QR codes to listen to pumpkin songs and stories-so fun!

 Students practiced place value with candy corn and candy pumpkins.  They also practiced with pumpkin seeds from inside of a real pumpkin :)

 Students looking for words written on pumpkins.  They had to sort these words and use one of the words in a sentence.  Great practice!

Scholastic Orders

November orders were due today.  I am sending home the December order form today as well.  Scholastic books make excellent Christmas gifts!  If you are interested in purchasing books and you would like for it to be a secret, please let me know. I am happy to keep the books in the classroom for you to pick up at your convenience.  Thanks to all of you who have purchased books from Scholastic!  It helps us earn points towards free books for our own classroom and we love getting new books :) December orders will be due by December 22nd.  As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
