Happy Halloween from the classroom!

We had a great Halloween week in our classroom! Mummies, spiders, bats, and pumpkins! We took a field trip to the pumpkin patch, made great arts and crafts, and of course had some yummy food!

The Leaves Are Changing...

The leaves are changing in our classroom! Our classroom tree, with the help or our crayon melt and a few cut our leaves, has begun to change!

And we added a few more things to our Fall board.  Acorns, squirrels, and a few spiders were fun for all our students to make.

Our writing center is a web of sight words!

And of course we have to include
apples in our classroom to make
fall official! We baked an apple pie,
made Carmel apples, and we did apple

weaving in art.

Fall in Excel

It is Fall in Excel! This week we are studying leaves, acorns, spiders, and...baseball!  We had our World Series celebration. The students dressed in their baseball gear, we played ball, ate peanuts and cracker jacks.  For lunch, of course, we had hot dogs!

Transportation Week in Excel!

Boats, Trains, Planes, and Cars! Stop, Go, Exit, Red, Yellow, Green...transportation week was a success in our classroom this week! We started off by making traffic light sugar cookies, always a hit with the children.  We had a transportation celebration where every child was able to bring their bike, scooter, skates, or other favorite form of transportation. The students loved listening to a real race car driver who dressed in full attire and brought pictures of his car. One of our dads brought up a motorcycle and drove it around for the students.  The children also took home their own environmental print book.  We studied all the important traffic signs and by the end of the week our class knew them all! We made boats out of juice boxes and had a sailboat race in our "little pool" out on the playground.  Transportation week was a GO for our class.
