Happy Halloween!

First of all let me say a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated Chili items for Freaky Friday! It was a huge success and first grade raised over $500 in money! We will deifnitely be taking a fun field trip in the future!

This week was Halloween week at the Creek! The Blue Apple Players came to our school on Wednesday to perfom a Wild West version of the Three Little Pigs. It was so funny! In math we have been learning how to decompose (or break apart) a number leading to ten. Since today was Halloween we had a Jack-O-Latern paper and created our own ways to decompose numbers. We drew teeth on the top and bottom of the mouth of our pumpkins and created an equation to match. For example, if I drew three teeth on the top of my pumpkin mouth and 4 on the bottom, my equation would be 3+4=7. It was so much fun and the students worked so hard to create their own pumpkin and equation. They will be displayed in the hallway soon! In reading this week we practiced using text features such as title, labels, and captions. We drew a pumpkin, created a title, labeled the pumpkin, and even created a caption. The students did a wonderful job. This afternoon we had a lot of fun at during the Paw Party dance and the classroom party! Below are some pictures of my kiddos. Enjoy!
