Happy November!
I am not quite ready for October to be over, though...
Here are a few O'Duggan pics...
I hope the 3 kiddos at home NEVER get too old to carve pumpkins with their Momma and Daddy....probably wishful thinking!
Mark your calendar for NEXT year's TRUNK or TREAT!
I was so happy to have a small part in this community event!
Here are some of the great books we read this week:
This week in K was an incredibly busy week!
For one thing, we wrapped up our letter of the day series!
We will send home our BEAUTIFUL hand made ABC books
on Thursday as the beginning of our
THINKING THURSDAY READING homework!
We used old and donated calendars on Monday to practice
numeral printing. We will do one calendar on most Mondays.
The kids really seem to enjoy the surprise of which month they receive!
I also gave in and bought these cute little FOXES for the
k kids to put together for the letter Xx day.
They were just sooooo cute!
We also watched, danced, and laughed with the video
What does the fox say?
We had a science lesson on bones and skeletons
Centers on Tuesday included the following:
Read the Room Spooky 10 Frames

During the Switch-a-Roo, ALL of the K kids created
these super sweet Halloween Cats!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these!
Wednesday afternoon we created these adorable
MUMMIES!

Did your kiddo tell you we were growing a brain?
Well, not a REAL one but one of those fun science-y toys
that grow in water!
We did keep track of our data like scientists do!
Here are our last three ABC book pages...

We filled our morning with GHOSTLY fun!
We studied air currents and air dynamics with these
great spinning ghosts...
And ghostly graphs with basic probability ...
Oh, don't these look interesting?
