Friday "freebie"!!

With Autumn here in the North it is always fun to do a little something special with leaves.  I created a packet for my classroom that gets a little of every  curriculum area in and really hits the Common Core Standards...BANG! It also has a cute little craft for display.  Enjoy your weekend everyone.  I think I'll go on a "leaf hunt"!

And for the "freebie"

Autumn Leaves "freebie"!

Haunted House

Okay so the houses are green.  Maybe they are covered with moss from being old and in the woods.  To be honest I just didn't have any brown construction paper which concerns me because it is only the start of November! we used a ghost, pumpkin and bat sponge to paint on the house.  They turned out cute.

Drying in our "haunted hall"!

Red Ribbon

For Red Ribbon week our entire school gathered around the flag pole to say the pledge and then to say our school pledge.  Even the tree was in "theme"!!

A "batty" good week!

 To enhance your study of bats here is a fabulous link for kids.

Yikes it's Thursday...and the drawing is tomorrow!

We had so much fun with Splat today!  By the way it is a "freebie" at my store.

And then created these adorable cats and pumpkins!
The story had some wonderful vocabulary for us to explore.

But the best ever was the "How many seeds in a pumpkin?"
Day one we scooped and sorted seeds.
Day two we counted.
Two groups counted by 10, two by 5 and two by 2's.
Amazing but the counts were very similar.
The great big one had 456.
The fat middle one had 438,
The tall middle one had 386.
The two small ones had 420 some.
BUT the surprise is the 4th pumpkin from the big one which is really the smallest had 524.
I would recommend this book and activity to all!
I'd love to share pictures of the actual counting and scooping but they all have kids in them.
See you tomorrow for the drawing.
