Yesterday's storm brought rain and PECANS! The wind blew them out of the trees and all over the ground. It was like hunting Easter eggs today.

Tropical Storm Ida!! Free Day for everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed the unexpected day off today. I stayed busy getting caught up on "things!" At least I did get the blog caught up. I added a few new educational links that are fun but educational as well. I really liked the online stories link. It has some really cool stories on it right now. I hope everyone is enjoying the blog... let me know by leaving a comment. The kids are welcome to comment, too.

Cleaning up the playground! 11/5/09

Wow! We cleaned up a lot of trash today. LM noticed a lot of trash and began gathering it up. She went to the classroom and got a bag to put it in. By the time recess was over she had collected a bag full. Everyone pitched in and helped by gathering up at least 5 pieces of trash to add to the bag! We try to do this once every week to keep our new school beautiful!

Happy Birthday, SH!! 11/4/09

We enjoyed a surprise celebration for SH (planned by Mom and set up by Grandma). SH's Grandmother set everything up during recess and then I sent SH on an errand so we could get back to the classroom and hide before he returned! It was fun to yell "surprise" as he walked into the room! We had yummy pizza, cupcakes, and juice! Thanks for sharing with us!

Let's sing "Happy Birthday!"

SH's birthday interview. One thing I learned that I didn't already know is that SH has an "underwater" bedroom but he wants a "dirt bike" bedroom!

Halloween "Screamers" 11/2/09

We were so busy Friday with our dry ice experiments that we didn't get to make our Halloween Screamers. We read "The Magic School Bus and the Haunted Sound Museum" and learned that sound is made by vibrations. We put a hex nut in the balloons and blew them up. We made an eerie noise by swirling the balloons to spin the hex nuts inside. It was cool to compare the different sounds made by different size nuts.
