Healthy Play Training

Today I was out of the classroom because I was at a Healthy Play Training, I got some amazing ideas for activities that can be done in and outside the classroom, building teamwork and conflict management.

While I was gone, the students met with their buddies and worked on a project making Witch Holders. Also, student from Mrs. Villareal's multiage class came in to read Halloween stories that they had created.

They continued work on their Pumpkin project, which we will hopefully complete if we have time tomorrow afternoon. They also went into the Computer Lab and navigated in Jumpstart Kindergarten on the numerous games they've learned. The read aloud today was appropriately enough Miss Bindergarten Stays Home.

During Readers Workshop, students talked about the beginning, middle, and end of stories. They used The Gingerbread Man as an example since it was a story they were familiar with.

Reminder -- Tomorrow is Halloween. Students may come to school in costume, but need to change out of it after the parade. Also, if you would like to contribute a healthy snack for our Halloween Celebration, please bring it into room 4 before school. Thank You!
