October Family Project

For our October Family Project, the kids and their families decorated their own pumpkin.  The pumpkins we're provided and the only rule was that they could not be carved.  They're on display for several weeks in our hallway.  Once the kids brought their pumpkins to school, they told us about how they decorated their pumpkin.  They also wrote 2 sentences about their pumpkin.

Ten Not Ten

We've been working on the friends of ten (two numbers that make ten).  We played a fun game where we flipped two cards to see if they made a friend of ten.  We had to count the ships and total them. We're well on our way to addition!

Pumpkin Jack

We read the book Pumpkin Jack and did a little pumpkin innestigating.  We predicted if our pumpkin would float out sink, we weighed it, we estimated how many seeds we're inside, then carved and counted the seeds.  We named our pumpkin Jack.  He will stay in our room for awhile and we'll be able to o serve the changes that happen to him!

Where the Wild Things Are

We read the book Where the Wild Things Are and talked about the characters and setting. We also made some text -to-self connections.  We talked about what made Max upset and what makes us upset. We also discussed ways to calm ourselves down once we felt wild.  We wrote our calm down idea on paper and made our version of Max.
