Halloween Week!! (Week of 10-31-16)

This week was a BUSY one! We survived Halloween on a Monday and our very first math benchmarks! Take a peek at our week to see what we did! 

Monday: We made these awesome "Franken Snacks" and made a video of ourselves making them. We also wrote a "how to" writing to explain how to make them. Here are some pictures of our fun!

Here is a picture of our setup for our Fall Celebration! We enjoyed fellowship with our classmates and watched a movie! I enjoyed ALL of the Halloween pictures that I received of the kids dressed up! 

The rest of the week has been a whirlwind between benchmarks and it being the end of the quarter. If you have not signed up for a parent teacher conference slot, here is the website! I look forward to talking with each of you about your child!
