A Spooktacular Week!

Lots of Halloween themed events going on this week! (and some not so Halloween themed)

1)  Carved our pumpkins.  Also toasted the seeds and had a yummy snack.

2) Painted our Halloween lanterns


3)  Decorated our classroom door (for the Student Council door decorating competition!  Hoping to win the class pizza party!)

4)  Continuing our study on money, collecting coins in our money bags (BASES market in November)

5)  Bean garden! Our plants are growing.  We've started painting the ceramic pots for our beans and are measuring heights and graphing our bean growth.


6)  We have been writing personal autobiographies (as seen on this website).  If you have the chance, please take the time to comment (you can use your name when you sign in, but don't need an account to do so).

7)  We have received more postcards - from Japan, Tuscany, Russia and Germany!  We love learning about the world through the postcard program.

Apple Barn & Pumpkin Patch

Today we went on our first field trip of the year - to the Apple Barn in Abbotsford for a tour of an apple orchard and pumpkin patch!

We arrived in the morning just as the rain was slowing down (yay!)  we checked in and took a few photos while waiting for our tour to begin.


 The tour began with a lesson on how apples are sorted.  Then we were led into the petting zoo to visit with the bunnies, goats, pigs, sheep and el pacas. Random fact:  Mr. Stroh really REALLY loves bunnies.



 We then loaded a tractor pulled hay ride through the apple orchard and out to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins!




 We then went for lunch and followed it with a little bounce on the jumping pillow before heading home.  Over all good time was had by all!
