Jack and the Beanstalk

Morning Activities.....




Morning Parade....Great costumes by all. We hope you go out to support the Trick or Trot and Monster Bash festivities this evening. 
Kids run at 4:30pm
Trick or Trot at 5:00pm
Family fun Monster Bash at 5:30pm with free pizza, treats, dance party and class basket raffles.

"Delicious" Math....
Math doesn't get better than this! Today we worked with Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios to add with. Everyone had their own boards divided into three boxes, each box represents a number. Beth would write a number sentence on the board and the kids had to build that number sentence to make it more concrete. When they completed their sentence and came up with the answer, they could eat their cheerios.



Language Arts....
Today we used wiki sticks to create our letters. It's a big challenge from writing with pencils and markers. Definately got our brains working on this activity.


Free Choice/Recess....

Gaga pit was a little water logged. But that doesn't stop these kids from working together to try to dry the puddle out. Unfortunately the puddle was bigger than the sand available for the pit.

The trio of dancing and singing.

Upside down posy!


Science...
Being Engineers requires lots of thinking and experimenting.  Having to figure out the function of an object that is being created. If it doesn't function for what it needs to do, try again a different way. Today we were Engineers to make Beanstalks. We read Jack and the Beanstalk. Then were given 20 pipe cleaners to build our own beanstalk. It had to be stable, stand on its own and be tall (like a bean stalk).








GREAT WORK TO ALL! Thank you friends who finished and helped other friends brainstorm different ways to make their beanstalks work.
