Bring on the Parade!

How lucky were we to have such beautiful Fall weather for our parade????

Happy Halloween!

Here we are just before the Halloween parade!  Great costumes everyone. 

The Cutest Little Pumpkins 2!

We learned the poem Five Little Pumpkins. We made puppets and took turns putting on mini puppet shows for our classmates. Be on the lookout for this poem in our poem notebooks this week. 

The Cutest Little Pumpkins

We Read Pumpkin Head. The jack-o-lanterns in this book are very original. We tried to do the same!  How did we do?

Thank You Mrs Boylan!

Mrs Boylan, Ally’s Mom, came to visit Room 13 in honor of fire safety week. She is a fire fighter in Natick. We learned about testing our smoke detectors at home and tried on some of Mrs Boylan’s gear. Mrs Boylan gave all of us fire helmets and safety badges.  Thank you for coming to visit us Mrs Boylan!

Comparing Folktales

Ms Galvin has been teaching us about folk heroes from America and around the world. We have read Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan and John Henry to name a few. Here we are sharing our posters comparing the similarities and differences between Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. 

Star Lab Planetarium!

We had a visitor from the Museum of Science today!  Kim taught us how to be scientists. We used binoculars to make observations and then drew what we saw. Then we were invited into an inflatable planetarium in the gym. Kim taught us about planets and constellations. She showed us how to find the North Star and projected the constellations on the ceiling. It was so cool and we were so well behaved. When we came back to Room 13 Ms Galvin helped us remember what we had learned so we could write about our "field trip" in our memory books.
