Catching Up..A Long Post

DSCN0034

It’s been a busy week and past weekend! I can’t believe October is almost over! I didn’t get to all the things I wanted to…so owls, bats and spiders will be pushed to November. But here are a few things we’ve done this week and the previous week.

Pumpkin Life Cycle Writing

We created torn paper pumpkins and then wrote about how a pumpkin seed grows into a pumpkin. The students had a ball tearing paper for their pumpkins.

The following ideas come right from Mrs. Carroll at The First Grade Parade. Thanks for the inspiration!

Today we described the outside of our pumpkin and completed descriptive sentences. Tomorrow we will cut open our class pumpkin and describe the inside.

  9. The Writer can draw the picture that demonstrates the genuine perception of this photo with the goal see page that individuals think about it. Coincidentally, it is a decent bit of painting and each layer of shading are great.
