Carving Our Pumpkin

The students each got to vote on what our classroom jack-o-lantern would look like.  The results are on a chart in the hallway.  They each took several turns scooping out the pumpkin seeds.

Mrs. Witham visits our classroom

Mrs. Witham, our ELL teacher, visits our classroom once a week to practice our letters and sounds with us.  She creates a lot of fun activities.  We always enjoy her visits!

"Weather" Lesson from B.V. County Naturalist

The Kindergarten class enjoyed learning about different types of weather with our Buena Vista County Naturalist, Lisa Muesberger.

Taste Test

"Thumbs Up" was the signal if they liked the drink they were tasting.  We had a lot of fun with Mrs. Smith and her high school students!

Spanish Students Visit Our Classroom

Mrs. Smith and some of her Spanish students brought some South American drinks for us to try.  They had fruit smoothies, a warm chocolate drink, and a banana-flavored drink.

Picking our pumpkins

Every student got to pick one small pumpkin and one small gourd to take home with them.  As a class, we picked out a big pumpkin to have in our classroom.

The Kindergarten class got to ride in the Newell Fire Dept.'s Rescue Truck.  We also received goodie bags full of stickers, coloring books and information about fire safety.  We loved the siren!
