 We made spiders!
 We played pin the eye on the monster. This was so funny to watch! We laughed and laughed!
 We also got to play Halloween BINGO!


 We had yummy apples and a frosted sugar cookie for a snack.



 Halloween was so much fun! We are ready for a fun-filled night of trick or treating!
Thank you parents for all of your help for our party. We appreciate you so much:)

Magnet Mania!!!

Today we had a blast learning about objects that are magnetic and ones that are not!

 
 First we predicted if the object we were testing was magnetic or nonmagnetic. 
 Then we tested our results! It was so exciting to see what kinds of objects were magnetic.
 A paper clip is magnetic!
 Here is our recording sheet with all of our predictions and scientific results!
 A nail is made of metal and is magnetic!
We are great scientists!

Word Work

Word work is such a fun reading choice! It is really important to increase our stamina in word work as well as listen to reading and read to self. Word Work helps us to be better at reading, spelling, finding chunks and most of all...it's fun!


 We move our magnet to the choice we would like to do. We get to do all three reading choices each day. It has been great to be able to make the decision on our own for which choice we will be doing. Next week, there will be four choices!
Inside the word work bag is a container of play dough and a golf tee. We can write our words in the play dough. There is also a bunch of wiki sticks. These are so much fun to build words with because they are bendable and stay in the shape you put them in.
