 I am dedicating this post to a picture gallery of our classroom fun. Hopefully my weekly newsletters have provided you with information about our learning objectives! I apologize for the long delay in updating this site!  Now that our district website has been updated and the bugs have been corrected, I hope to be able to keep the blog updated a bit more frequently and you should have an easier time accessing it.

Pumpkin Week has been a lot of fun!

Here are some pictures of our pumpkin math investigations:

Pumpkin Measurement

What is the circumference of our pumpkin? 

Will our pumpkin sink or float?

How many ribs does our pumpkin have?

Making pumpkin predictions.

Working together.

How many blocks tall is our pumpkin?

Halloween Party

We will celebrate Halloween on Thursday Oct. 30 in our classroom next week. We will be trick or treating around the school and will carve the pumpkins we have been using in our investigations. However, Mr. Reeves has indicated that costumes are not permitted at school for our party or on Oct. 31 in order to avoid too many disruptions to our school day. 

And speaking of carving pumpkins, if any parents are available to come in on Thursday morning to assist with pumpkin carving, please let me know. I could use a few extra hands for this activity. We will be carving our pumpkins at 10:00. Please send me an e-mail if you can come help.

Field Trip

Our trip to the corn maze was the highlight of our week last week. The kids had a great time at the playground at the senior center and then at Getzloff's farm. We had a wonderful hayride through the woods and looked at the beautiful fall colors, picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, wandered through the corn maze and played on the hay bales and the giant slide. The kids had a blast! Here are some of our pictures.

Fire Safety Week

Last week was also Fire Safety week at Lemmer. Officer Nault and Officer Reese from Escanaba Public Safety visited and shared information with us about staying safe in a fire. We also got a chance to see a fire truck up close and personal. Officer Reese dressed in his firefighters protective gear so that the kids won't be afraid of firefighters if they ever are in a fire. Officer Nault asked the kids to go home and talk to their families about making an escape plan and setting up a safe meeting spot outside the house.

Other activities we did this week:

• Read some Non-fiction books about Pumpkins.
• Made a class poster and mini posters of the pumpkin life cycle in Science
• Wrote a mini-book about growing pumpkins and highlighted some new words we are learning.
• Read a poem called "Pumpkins", focusing on characteristics of small, medium and large and on descriptive words for pumpkins.
• Sorted pumpkins by size.
• Made a list of descriptive words (adjectives) about pumpkins that we can use to describe our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.
• Learned about the pre-writing stage of the writing process. Started a pre-write organizer for our reports about our field trip to the Corn Maze last week.
• Made the 30th day of school page in our Zero the Hero art book.

Reminders:

• October Book orders are due on Monday
• Keep reading with your child each night for the Pizza Hut Book It! program and complete the reading calendar.
• Friday is library day. Please be sure to send library books back each week.

Next Week:

More pumpkin science and stories

Halloween fun!
