Halloween Party

The Halloween Party last Friday was a lot of fun. Thank you to Mary and the other parents who helped make the party a success!

Our cadet teacher Skyler brought us more treats! He is too sweet to us!

This is my rockstar Zoe and my cranky monkey Cole. We had a fun Halloween too!

Cool Cats

The kids made these adorable cat masks in art today!This week is Drug Awareness Week. Each day the students are dressed for the theme of the day. Monday was: Cool Cats Don't Do Drugs! Look how cool Rylee looks! No, that's not black lipstick. It's black icing from Myla's birthday treats!

Tuesday was "United We Stand Against Drugs". They wore red, white, and blue.

Today was "Count On Me Not to do Drugs". They wore a number.

Happy Birthday Myla

Myla is 7 years old today. The boys bowed down to her 7 times!

We ate a delicious cookie that had black icing! The kids are really sugared up today!

Popcorn Balls

Our cadet teacher, Skyler, brought the kids Halloween popcorn balls. They had a little note attached that said "A Sweet Treat for my Amazing 1st Graders". The kids loved them! They were fun to eat, but very messy.

Thank you Skyler. WE LOVE YOU!

Miss Morgan

Miss Morgan came to our class today. She is a freshman in college and is observing our class as part of her requirements to become a teacher one day.

The students were very curious as to why she was here. I told them she was in college and watching our classroom. Then I asked if they had any ideas of why she was going to college (thinking the answer was obvious, to become a teacher). Alli said she was going to college so she could drive a cherry red ferrari. So I clarified and asked what job she was going to college to learn about. They thought for awhile and Eli said monster truck driver, someone else said F.B.I., and another said race car driver. They asked her lots of questions like where she lived and what color her house was. Then they told her of all of the people they knew in college, or in some cases junior high.

They liked Morgan visiting our class and have all decided they will go to college one day too!

Spiders

Today we read the nonfiction book Spinning Spiders and the fiction story The Very Busy Spider. The students discovered similarities and differences of the two stories. Then they made their own spiders using the information from the nonfiction story.

These are some facts about spiders the students learned from Spinning Spiders:

• Spiders make webs. - Drew
• Spiders kill insects. - Myla
• Spiders drink the insects' blood. - Bryce
• Spiders have two main body parts. - Cal
• Spiders have eight legs. - Lance
• Spiders can have 2, 4, 6, 8 or no eyes.

It's not a fact, but Layne says that spiders are scary. I agree Layne!
