The season is beginning to change and as always, we are very busy little bees. We had time off as the teacher's headed to Fargo for a conference, then more time off this week for the North Dakota Teacher Conference in Bismarck. Even through all of that, we have had several fun activities.
This last week started with a visit from 2 of the Williston Volunteer firefighters. We had originally scheduled them for fire safety week, but due to conflicts, they weren't able to come until this week. Two of their main points were that the students ask you as parents to check the smoke alarms and that it was important for them to keep their rooms clean. They also showed the students what they look like in their full fireman uniforms with the oxygen mask running and all. I was really proud of how well the students responded to the fireman and they came up with some great questions.
We also focused on Fall activities. We marble painted leaf cutouts and made a collage out of leaves and twigs we had collected on our Fall into Walking excursion. We also made a tree-like print using our hand and arm as a stamp. The students then added leaves using their fingertips.
This next week we are focusing on pumpkins. We have a HUGE pumpkin we will be carving on Monday. We will make different types of pumpkins on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, we are having a parent/child activity that involves painting a mini pumpkin.
As if we weren't busy enough, we will also be starting home visits at the end of this week.
Later Days!
