World, Meet Snoodle

My classroom elf. He's so silly and my students adore him! Plus, Noel (our Christmas angel from last year) is Snoodle's supervisor. My former babies were glad to see Noel on Monday!

Whoever said science was all icky stuff..

Never had my class.

To wrap up our landform unit, I made landform cakes! I also had the kids point out what we studied on the cake, then we ate them. Yummy!

Lots of love

..to our Veterans. We're excited to meet and show much love to them. CCA's program is tomorrow! We had fun making this gem today!

Happy Veterans' Day!

Belated Halloween..and others

Hello! I realized that I said I'd blog on Halloween..but never trust my word when I say something about blogging.. Anyways, I went as Belle from "Beauty and the Beast." I got complements from everyone.
A first grader dressed up as the beast. I, of course, had to have a picture.
Saturday was the school's fall festival. We raised over $100 for our school buy selling chili. The PTO sponsored a "jail n bail." Guess who got put in there 3 times..hopefully, it want out of grief..
Friday is our Veteran's Day Program. Monday is an off day. Hello, 3 day weekend!

Painting pumpkins!

Who says the 'middle child' has no fun? If you have no clue what I mean, go back to my previous post and get caught up.
We painted ceramic pumpkins today to get in the festive spirit! I even got to join in on the fun!
Tomorrow, we dress up as a book character. Tune in tomorrow to see all things fun!

Giftbag galore.

Hello all!
I've told a coworker that my years of teaching were like children. With last year being my first year, they're like my oldest. I took so many pictures did so many extra activities. This year's group is like the middle child. I love them just as much (if not, more) but I forget to take photos and our crafts are not as frequent but I will say that they (being the activities) are more extravagant..
We've had so much fun in October! We've been learning about dinosaurs. We made some out of noodles.
Then, we switched gears and started learning about cows for our Ag in the Class segment!
We made our own butter! Each student was given their own butter jar to shake/take home. To my surprise, everyone enjoyed it! We even used our senses to observe beef jerky..which had mixed reviews.
Saturday is CCA's fall festival! We'll be selling beef chilli with other fixings.
Halloween is near again, I'll post about that later. I just wanted to show off my goodie bags for the kids this year! I will say that last year's class only got candy from me..no goodybags! See, things even out! ;)

It's beginning to look a lot like..

Fall!
Every season should be celebrated. Fall is no exception..
