Mummies/Pumpkins

Whoa! The last couple weeks have gotten away from me! We have been super busy with teachers convention, testing, grades, and now Parent Teacher Conferences this week!! October has been lots of fun as well! During our short 3 day week, we spent time talking about Mummies! We read the book, "Where is My Mummy." This is a cute story with fun characters! We did lots of activities from the book and ended the we by creating our very own Mummies!




Last week was Pumpkin week. We had a ton of fun investigation, estimating, carving, and even tasting Pumpkin! We carved our very own class pumpkin which we named "Jack!" Everyone got a chance to look and FEEL what a pumpkin was like inside!! This was so much fun and it was great to see all the expressions on their faces when they reached their hands inside!!

Fire Safety

This week is Fire Safety Week. We have been reading stories, learning about safe things, and we made Fire trucks for art! Today we even got a special visit from a Firefighter! He talked to the class all about fire safety. He showed us stop drop and roll, how to crawl low in smoke, how to check our smoke alarms, and he told us that we should all have a plan with our families on how and where to go if there is a fire in our homes. He even showed us all his gear and told us what it all is for!
