Fall Festival Fun!

These children made "one big letter U" and "a house with people in it".
When we asked what the people were doing, they said, "they are at the fall festival having fun!"

They all worked together to make a sign for the "people at the party". Here is the sign, it reads......

"Fall Festival Fun"!

Our Names

We have started using play dough to help us with our spelling! Lately we look at different letters and we all try to make the letters out of play dough.

We started spelling our names out of the play dough and comparing to see who has the same letters in his/her name.

What a great job we did!

Nature Inspired

Thanks to Dimitrios and his mom, we have had some beautiful pieces of nature in our class.

We are using them for still art. We look at the shapes we see in the persimmons, we count them, we talk about the shades of the colors, and then we make our art.............

This piece was done by Trevor, using water colors.............. This piece was made by Ella, using water colors...........................
We also have a pink plate full of gourds, we used the same approach to create art pieces.

Ashley cut out a big piece of pink paper for the plate, and then drew each gourd, painted them, and then glued them on the plate to make her art piece.................

Jae drew everything in pencil, and then used water color to paint his picture................ Faraz used markers to make his plate of gourds..............

Beautiful, aren't they?????

A Visit From The Fire Department!

The fire men from the Missouri City Fire Department came to pay us a visit! We learned about fire safety and 911...............

We learned how to stop, drop, and roll..............

We watched a fire man put on all of his gear...............

We came and gave him a high five, because we were not scared of him in the mask..............

Then, we went outside to look at the fire truck! We got to see all of the tools they have to help save people, and we asked them lots of questions.................

Right before they left, they turned on all of the lights on the fire truck for us to see!!!!

Birthday Parties

Just a little reminder that Tirza and Dimi's birthday parties are coming up!!!

Dimi's invitations are located by the sign-in computer. The whole class is invited, so if you haven't received your invitation, please let Maryam know so that we can make sure you know the details of the party.

Tirza's mom needs the RSVPs, so that she can know how many tickets she needs. If you have not yet replied, here is the address................http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?inviteId=GGWURRXFSVMZLGVFMTKH&li=iq&src=email

"Inside" the Costume!

From the outside we see the costume, but take a look at some of the hard work that is going into making them

For every step, the children are writing down what they need and how many. This is sharpening up our counting, addition, spelling, and writing skills.........

We take what we have written about and we work together to put our costumes together!

The final product is starting to look SO beautiful!

Ella finished her dragonfly eyes!

Jae is one of the "Bumble Bee Brothers"! He is ready to buzzzzzz around the room!

How Many Are There?

We have been sharpening up our math skills! We like to build together, count, and then see who has the most!

"Project Runway" or Fall Festival?

We are so busy measuring, cutting, sewing, and designing! The costumes are well underway, and looking fabulous!

Some of us like our costumes SO much that we don't ever want to take them off ;0)
