Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Feast!

Today we had our school Thanksgiving feast. To celebrate we put on our Pilgrim and Indian costumes. We had yellow and orange colored paper on our tables for tablecloths. We also had scarecrows, turkeys, and pumpkins as decorations. We enjoyed our meal as a family. We ate ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, and turkey.

“It was awesome!,” said Levi.

“It was nice ‘cause we ate as a group,” replied Cam ‘Ron.

  Paulina said, “It was fun because we dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians.”

Election Day!

Today is Joshua’s birthday! He is 6 years old! Joshua blew out his candle and we sang “Happy Birthday!”

Today is also special because it is Election Day! Election Day is a day when adults vote for President. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are running for president this year! We know that the president is elected for a term of four years. 

We colored a special hat for Election Day with the colors red and blue. We used red and blue colors because they resemble America.   

This morning we went to the reading room to vote for who we wanted to be president! When we got to the reading room, they gave each of us a special piece of paper. It had the names and picture of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Each of us got to put a check mark beside who we wanted to be president. Levi thought it was fun and Kamila thought it was awesome.

“Voting was so cool.” Cecilia

“It was hard to decide who to vote for.” Paulina

“Voting was exciting because I have never gotten to vote before.” Levi

Halloween Fun!

It has been a spooky fun Halloween week!!

Tuesday we went to an assembly in the gym about natural gas! Gracie learned that some gas comes from under the ground. Levi learned that natural gas can be used for a lot of different things. The show was really funny!

Tuesday night was so special. It was FALL FAIR! There were a ton of games to play. Gracie liked the duck game and she won a few prizes. Wesley came to room 108, our room, and hit the golf ball into the hole! He won TWO prizes. Some of us saw Mrs. Deaton and Connor at Fall Fair! Some kids even dressed up for fall fair. Fall Fair was awesome!

On Wednesday we had an ice cream sundae Halloween party! We got to have the party because we filled up our popcorn jar for good classroom behavior.

“On my sundae I had chocolate chips, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup!” Kamila

“I had Halloween sprinkles on my sundae!” Dylan

“With my vanilla ice cream, I had sprinkles.” Aaron

“Gummy bears, sprinkles, M&M’s, and marshmallows were all on my sundae.” Jazmin

The party was so exciting! What a way to celebrate Halloween and good behavior!

Farm Day!!!

Today was Farm Day. Farm Day was absolutely super!

First off, today was already special because it is Paulina’s birthday!! On the SMART board, Paulina blew her candles out as well as she got 6 birthday spankings with one to grow on! How funny! We also got to eat cupcakes and sing “Happy Birthday” to celebrate.

When we went out for Farm Day the first animal we saw was a sheep! We thought the sheep was so cute. We also saw a chubby gray bunny. We thought that bunny was so soft. The white and brown cow  we saw was a cute little baby cow! We saw a goat with a beard under its chin! That was so funny!

“My favorite animal at Farm Day were the baby ducks!” Dylan
“My favorite animal was the chicken because chickens are cool.” Cam’Ron
“I liked the baby bunny because it was just so soft.” Wesley
“The pony was my favorite animal because it is so cool to watch ponies run around.” Myonna

During Farm Day we learned so many things. We learned that some animals feel different, that baby calves drink milk from their mothers, and even that cows don’t have their own bathroom! That was SO hilarious! After we looked at the animals we ate lunch outside with our friends.

Next, Levi’s dad, Mr. Bankirer, came in to carve a pumpkin with us. First, Levi’s dad cut the stem off of the pumpkin. Next, we took turns scooping all of the guts out of the pumpkin! We thought that was so gross and slimy! Together we decided to make the pumpkin’s eyes in the shape of a triangle. Then we decided to cut a circle with nostrils for the pumpkin’s nose. Also, we decided to make a scary mouth on the pumpkin. Lastly Levi’s dad connected ears to the side of our pumpkin. We love our pumpkin, it is so scary! Our pumpkin’s name is JACKIE!!

After all the fun we had making our pumpkin, we made homemade butter with Mrs. Brooks. We put heavy whipping cream and a marble in a container and took turns shaking it. Eventually, we had butter! We spread the butter on some yummy biscuits that Mrs. Brooks made! The buttered biscuits were so delicious! What a fun day it was....
