Historical Halloween was a huge hit! We would like to thank our parents for coming to our "Living Museum.” **We will be providing other opportunities for parents to come into the classroom throughout the year. In an effort to make sure all parents know about classroom events we will always send home at least 2 notices and post events on the blog. It is very important to check your child’s bag each night for notices of such events and to check the blog weekly!
In continuing with our Biome study the children played "Predator and Prey." They used higher-level thinking skills to synthesize and apply their knowledge of biomes by drawing and labeling their own biome. They were also introduced to the biome mat which allows them to practice their grammar by composing creative sentences about the biome and played "Biome Questions and Answers" to review characteristics of biomes of the world.
On Friday we had a great time at our Scenery Sleepover! We painted, played Pictionary, had a great pizza dinner and survived a power outage from the great Nor'easter of 2011! Many thanks to Mike Fernandez for making the children pancakes in the morning (and for bringing the teachers coffee!)!
