Fall has overtaken our classroom! Last week we went on a leaf hunt and used our five senses to make detailed descriptions to pump up our writing. The kids really enjoyed making leaf prints to go with it.
We also had a lot of fun exploring pumpkins during science! We dissected, labeled, and learned about the life cycle. The kids suggested we carve a W into the pumpkin, aren't' they too cute!? (A big thanks to our photographer Ava!)
The kids took notes on how to carve a jack-o-lantern. They then wrote a process piece in their science journals.
We ended the week with a wonderful Fall Festival! The kids enjoyed some fire safety magic from Mrs. Skillman's talented daddy. They rotated stations throughout the first grade rooms to enjoy some Fall fun. We had a yummy snack during "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." It was a wonderful way to end the week. Thank you to all of the parents who helped and donated to our party!
This Friday is our annual chili cook-off and basket auction! I hope to see you there at 5:30 for some free food and great auction items!
