We may have had a short week but it was a BUSY few days! This week we worked on many little projects to celebrate Thanksgiving and prepare for winter.
Ms. West made pumpkin bread with the kids to close out our pumpkin investigation and begin our cooking investigation. They did all the mixing to follow the recipe!
We also read a story sponsored by the LINKS and the Books Alive program called: The Big Orange Splot. It was about a man who gets a big orange splot dropped on his house and he decides to paint the whole outside. His neighbors want him to paint it back the way it was so all of the houses will look the same but they soon realize all their houses can look different and they paint theirs too. To connect to the story we had all the students at the table paint their house the same color. Next week they will decorate their house to make it look the way they want it to.
Today we worked on some projects to get our room ready for winter and the holiday season. We wanted the students to make holiday paper chains to hang from the ceiling but we weren't sure how they would do... But as usual they surprised us! Each table was given two sets of holiday paper strips and a stapler. They worked so hard to make the patterns with their table mates. We hung each chain above the table that made it. Great job!
