What a week!!!!

Shew!!!! What a week!!!!!

We finally finished our marathon month of October and boy am I happy to have the three day weekend to recover!!!

This is what our week looked like...

We danced to the skeleton song and read the story "Dem Bones."

We had Fall rotations this week where we visited each first grade teacher to do a fall activity. This is the craft we made after reading "Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf." The kids really enjoyed using their fingers to create the leaves on their tree using paint! 

We were so lucky to have Mrs. Kristen in our class this nine weeks. She is a block 2 student from WKU and she promises to be a great teacher! She was also nice enough to bring pumpkins for each student in our class!! We celebrated her being with us by painting the pumpkins, having popcorn, and making her Thank You cards to tell her how much we appreciated her! 

On Friday we had our Sharpen the Saw time to keep ourselves well rounded with work and play. Some students chose to come to Mrs. Yonkers room for some tech time playing on the iPads. Other students chose to go do Wii dancing in Mrs. mousers room. (Students who did not complete homework or "put first things first" this week, went to the first things first room so they had a opportunity to catch up. You can see where your child went on their classroom Do Jo report.)

Our town celebrated trick-or-treating on Friday and this is my husband and his little loot!!! 

Finally, we took some time to sharpen our own saw by having a nice dinner and playing at Blazers Fun Zone to celebrate our oldest reaching his AR goal in just one week!!! 

This week we will have THE SAME spelling words as last week since we have had two, four day weeks. This should give them plenty of time to know these words. 

I hope you all enjoy your extra day off tomorrow! See you Tuesday!
