The week started out ok for us. We took a vote on what shapes we wanted to carve into our pumpkin. We chose round eyes, triangle nose and a happy grin with triangle teeth. For some students, this was the first time they were able to help clean out a pumpkin. AND IT WAS A HUGE PUMPKIN! It took all of us to get it cleaned out. We also learned a song about "5 Little Pumpkins" and colored our own book to take home.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be in class on Tuesday or Wednesday due to a miserable stomach flu. Several students were home sick with it also this week and even Miss Kirstie, the class's assistant, was home sick on Thursday. Luckily, Miss Jessica and Miss Kasey from the owl class were able to help our students out.
Thursday we were able to have a Parent/Child activity day. We invited the parents to join our class as we painted our own pumpkin and also glued shapes onto a construction paper pumpkin. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
Next week, we will hopefully all be back to 100% health and start our unit on "My Body, Myself".
Later days!
