A Spook-tacular Day!

Just look at these adorable costumes!  In our class today we had Junie B. Jones, Mary and baby Jesus, Opal from Because of Winn-Dixie, Captain Underpants, Little Red Riding Hood, and many more!

 Jade's Aunt Teena was our "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, shake, shake, shake" Mystery Reader!  She was so funny!

 The little kids LOVED trick-or-treating in our room!  We were around the room at our decorated stations  waiting for them.  We even had Halloween music playing!

Costume Day and Parade!

Next Friday, October 29th is Costume Day!  Remember, you can wear any costume you want as long as it meets a few rules. You may either dress as a Bible character or a storybook character.  If you choose to dress as a storybook character, be sure it is a TRUE storybook character.  That means, if they started out in a movie and later they made a book about the character, that is actually a movie character, not a storybook character.

Also remember that you'll need to bring about 60 treats to hand out to the little kids.  You can bring pencils, erasers, candy, whatever!  Bring some sort of bowl or bucket to put the treats in while you are passing them out.

Finally, you'll want to decorate your area of our classroom.  Make a Halloween poster, find a plastic pumpkin at home, anything you want to make your spot festive!  Remember you'll only have 5-10 minutes to decorate, so bring something easy!

Division with Remainders...

Da, da, da.... It's coming, but we're not afraid!  We had a fun math lesson outside today that was an introduction to division with remainders.  After some hands-on practice, we're ready to tackle it head-on Monday!
