Pumpkins and a Birthday!

(Sorry this is a late post! I ended up having a sick girl after school and left early than I planned.)

This week we learned about fall pumpkins. We learned about the life cycle of pumpkins and talked about what grows inside a pumpkin. This week we are planning on exploring a pumpkin hands on!

I realized that I didn't take very many pictures this week! Here we are working so hard and quiet at our seats.

We also had a birthday boy this week! He was so excited about turning 6!

Birthday Shirts- Please send in a white t-shirt in for your child as soon as you can!

Halloween- On October 31st we will be dressing up for Halloween! Kindergarten will also be celebrating our yearly Harvest Day. Your child has a choice of dressing up in their costume OR dressing as a scarecrow. Reminder- no fake weapons, fake blood or masks!

Fall and Fire Safety

We had a great week of learning about fire safety and fall!

On Wednesday we had the Livingston Fire Department come to talk to us. The kids loved learning about fire safety! We learned about the gear they wear and why they need it.Then we went outside to see the fire truck and the equipment on the truck.

I got to try on their gear that they wear! I learned it was VERY heavy and hot!

A student showing us how to "stop, drop, and roll."

They even gave us our own fire hats and stickers!

Some of us even read our books as firefighters!

Partner Reading!

We finally earned 10 Big Panther Paws! We voted and decided to have lunch in the classroom!

When I asked the kids to bring in some leaves, I told them not to bring in bugs! Well... Braun brought a couple! We watched one on the smart board wiggling around!
