A Busy Month!

Wow. Times flies. November is almost here!

It has continued to be one busy classroom. The best kind of busy - full of learning and exploration!

During our fourth week of school we celebrated an early birthday for one of our friends! I think they all liked the sparkler.



We made beautiful fall "stain glass" leaves out of tissue paper. They look beautiful in our classroom windows!



We also attempted to make some orange slime. Unfortunately our slime did not turn out the way we had hoped. We learned a valuable lesson: things don't always work out the way we planned but that doesn't stop us! We may not have had the chance to play with the slime (this time) but the journey to making it was fun and we will try it again!



The following week we welcomed a new friend to our class!

We had the whole gang out for the Terry Fox Run. We were blessed with beautiful weather while we walked with our school around the neighbourhood.

 

We also celebrated our own little Thanksgiving by making Turkey Pumpkins! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family, friends and Turkey Pumpkin!

 

 

Upon returning after the long weekend, to get into the Halloween spirit each of us decorated a specific letter, in a creative way, to spell Halloween! Check out our awesome wall outside our class!



To keep with the pumpkin theme, we baked delicious pumpkin pancakes. Mmm, the class had a wonderful smell that day.

  



Last week, we made orange play-dough and some not-so-spooky ghosts out of cotton balls. They were soft to touch and made the ghosts look very cool!



This coming week we have lots of fun things planned! We can't wait!!
