Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Today we got to work on our long E words with a game!  They were given a word and they had to tell us if it was a long e or a short e word.  Then the other person spelled the word!  It was a fun competition and they loved that everyone got a turn even if they weren't the first to grab the tiger.

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!! 

Emily brought us pumpkin cookies as a birthday treat today.  We took advantage of the fact that we are learning all about pumpkins and identified the parts of the pumpkin using the cookies :).  They found the stem, where the flower once was, where the flesh is, reviewed what color it starts as, as well as shared what is inside of a pumpkin.  Then of course we sang happy birthday and enjoyed the treat! 

Cedar Hill Farm trip!

Cedar Hill Farm was a dusty blast!  While there were TONS of people there we still had a fantastic time!

 

 

We brought along some 901 rocks to hide while there :).

 

Everyone was VERY excited to ride a pony!

 

Then we got to feed some animals in the petting zoo.

 

Then it was time to see the pig races.  There were 3 and the red team won all 3 times :).

 

Of course lunch was a fun picnic!

 

Then it was time for a smooshy hay ride to the pumpkin patch!

 

Overall it was a great time!  Everyone has a pumpkin and a note about their pumpkin project in their blue folders.  They are due on Monday :).

Subtraction stories...

We all got to practice telling subtraction stories to partners!  They took turn telling the story and doing the problem.  Everyone drew math pictures as well as the equation to go along with the story.  Then their partner got to check to see if it was right :).

 

 

We also did a dry run practice for our tornado drill later in the week!

Tasty apples!!

Our families rock and have continued to be amazing mystery readers!

After learning the parts of apples, different types of apples, and tasting some we got to make our own tasty Apple treat.  We used crescent rolls to make apple turnovers.  Everyone picked their favorite type of Apple to put in the middle and we covered the apple with crescent roll, added some cinnamon and baked it!  Most everyone agreed they were very tasty and "applelicious"!

After tasting the Apple treats we got to color our 3D landforms.  Once they are all done they will be hanging in the hallway 😀.
