Autumn Festivities!

Autumn has been such a blast in Room 2! October was so super busy with a pumpkin cooking project, pumpkin painting with our parents, a fall festival with the kindergarten and first grade, and a Halloween Parade! Here are some photos that capture the highlights of October! Be sure to catch all the photos in the slide show. Thanks to all you parents who were able to come by for some of the events--we LOVED having you!!!

Here are Mrs. Dhillon and me representing one of our class' favorite animals--the marvelous PENGUIN! We had so much fun waddling around together all day!

Here we are tasting our delicious pumpkin treat! Be sure to ask your student how to make our pumpkin pie recipe--they took home the recipe to try with their families!

Here we are at the Autumn Festival, checking out the "Mystery Tubs" & trying to guess what's inside using our Sense of Touch! I heard students describing the items in the tubs as "slimy, squishy, smooth, chunky, cool, and sticky"! I wonder what was inside...

Autumn is here!

I can't believe how quickly Autumn is zooming by! It is almost Thanksgiving! Before we know it, we will be singing Christmas tunes and welcoming the new year!

We have been so busy learning all about Fall! We had an awesome time learning all about pumpkins in Science, and exploring them in Math Workstations!

We explored five stations in Math Workshop, and we kept track in our very own "My Pumpkin Investigations" book:

We counted all the bumps on our bumpiest pumpkins.


We weighed our pumpkins in pennies.


We estimated how many seeds were inside a pumpkin--then opened it up to count them!

We compared and contrasted two very different pumpkins!

We traced our pumpkin, and counted how many triangle pattern blocks fit inside.

We learned so much from our pumpkin investigations, and how each and every pumpkin is so very different!
