October is Here!

At times like these I wish we were in the South so I could cheerfully say... "It's Fall Y'all!"  Did I even spell that right?? Did you hear the twang??  #californiagirl #whatarebootsandscarves

To greet this special month we have started in on some festive projects in room 8 (even if it is a beautiful, hot, sunny day that feels like summer.  Just wait till we write our Fall poems -we get all our good material about this season from books I tell ya!).

Anyhoo... I do love this time of the year so bring on the pumpkins!  This week we have been making these adorable pumpkins and kitties.



This project started out as one of my favorite math lessons on finding half of a shape. Over the years it has turned into a gem integrating art, math, and grammar skills.


After creating their pumpkins and cats, the kiddos added their own unique personality and creativity, which they then described with descriptive adjectives.  I LOVE how they turned out, our room is feeling festive, and my little loves had fun learning and were super proud of their projects. A win Win WIN!

Tomorrow we make our Purple People Eaters - I can't wait!
