Fun Class News:
We had such an exciting day! Kiddos who are in my Reading class have been reading and learning about snakes this week. Today they got to see and touch a REAL python snake! A big thank you goes out to Tara's parents for bringing in thier pet snake. I really appreciate your help; it was SUCH a fun learning experience for the students!

We also got to do Pumpkin Math today to celebrate fall! Students practiced making estimates for the pumpkin's height, weight, circumference, and seed count. We then measured and weighed the pumpkin to see who guessed most accurately. Then students got to dig out the seeds and count them all! We found over 380!

This week we learned about the life cycle of a plant, so when were were finished with Pumpkin Math students were allowed to plant some seeds from the pumpkin. We will observe their growth over the next couple of weeks!
