Fire Drill

Today we painted a sunset to practice making thick and thin paint.  We also practiced drawing poppies because Remembrance Day is coming next week
In morning meeting we shared what where we would rather go to the beach or the mountains.  We did read to self and we made it to 9 minuites again today and we had library. We read a book about a witch called "Straga Nona" and 2 Todd Parr books.
We had a fire drill and we all lined up really fast and then Ms. Mahan  checked off our names to make sure we were all safe. We put lots of stuff in our black folders today with a note from Ms. Mahan.  We put our favorite thing in the blue basket to go in our frame on the wall.

The Jar is Full!

In morning meeting this morning we picked what we like better Halloween or Thanksgiving because we started October today and both those holidays are this month.  We did daily 5.  Part of it was read to self where read by ourselves in our brain.  We also did listen to reading with the Ipads and our headphones.

We read a story called "Al Pha's bet" about a man named Al Pha.  In the story the king asked the people to put the letters in order.  The king liked the way his order sounded so he named the alphabet after him. It was just a pretend story.  We sorted out our papers from work we did this month and picked out the thing we were most proud of to go in a frame on the wall.  

We read another book about a Miss Mingo who taught animals.  In the story they practiced for their fire drill. We practiced for the fire drill too.  When the siren sounds we stop, line up fast, be quiet and follow Miss Mahan to our meeting spot outside.

The most exciting thing was we filled the cottonball jar so we are having our PJ and Teddy party on Tuesday!
