Happy Halloween

What a fun week! Today we dressed in costumes and went on a parade through the school. We had fantastic costumes. Prepare to sit for the next 30 some pictures (and I didn't want to stop there).
We did a lot of science experiments today. This is our first one. We call it Halloween screamers. We put a hex nut in a balloon and then when you swirl it, it makes a wonderful eery sound.

Then we came in and made some slime. Ooooey gooey fun.


Next we made "Boo Bubbles". They are great fun to try and catch and then watch them disappear right before our eyes.
Back to the slime to see if we could blow a bubble with it.

I just love JS's jewelry here. She looked so cute in her Wilma costume.
Friendly witches at recess.Getting ready for some party treats. Thank you to LD and GC's mom for the yummy treats.

















Happy Halloween Everyone!

Big Pumpkin Play (part 1)

The kids were absolutely wonderful in their plays today and so much fun to watch. Here are some of our pictures. There will be more tomorrow since I didn't get everything downloaded tonight.
Once there was a witch who wanted to make pumpkin pie....

Well they pulled, and they tugged, and they pulled.....




Along came a ghost...
and a vampire.









The little bat saves the day with her wonderful idea.
Ready, set, pull!

Stay tuned for more. Oh I love the fall (and second happy graders)!
