Pumpkin Week

Before going to the pumpkin farm...

We mixed our own orange to paint pumpkins,

We read to ourselves,

We listened to reading, 

We built our own Jack-o-lanterns on the Smartboard,

We predicted and estimated the seeds in a pumpkin,

we each made a model of a pumpkin,

and had fun removing seeds from the pumpkin.

On Monday we will count them.

Another Busy Week

We came in Monday morning to find our
butterfly had hatched!

It was timid for a while, but eventually flew off.

"I have a friend who loves me so
And Jesus is His name-oh!

On Tuesday we began the Daily Five!
