Pumpkin Burial

Last week we had to have a burial for "Jack" He was our class jack-o-lantern that we carved on Halloween.  The kids noticed that he really wasn't looking too good and informed me that we had to do something with him, so today we sent him off for a long winter's nap.  We stuffed "Jack" with lots of classroom items to keep him occupied for the winter (paper, pencil, marker, snacks, etc).  I told the kids that we would dig him up in the spring to see if he was looking any better. It's going to be a LONG winter, but I know the kids will be really excited to see him next spring:)

 Farewell Jack...We'll see you next spring:)

Pumpkin Characters

During the month of October, the students were given a project to complete at home with their parents.  Each student selected a book that they had read before and created one of the characters from the book on their pumpkin.  There was only 1 rule: Do NOT carve or cut the pumpkin. They had the freedom to be as creative as they wanted and they did not disappoint!

Happy Halloween!

We had our class Halloween Party on Wednesday, October 31. It was quite a CRAZY day! The students came to school in costume and we had a costume parade first thing that morning. All of the students looked really great:) Then we went on a "spooky walk" in the hallway.  We also carved a jack-o-lantern for our classroom. Finally at 2:00 it was time for our All Things Orange Party. We had nachos, cookies, cupcakes, orange soda, and candy of course! Thanks to all the parents that sent supplies and helped out during the party:)
