Odds and Ends of October


We just can't get enough of leaf rubbings.  What cool textures.  And a discussion about leaf color.  Why do they change from green to other fall colors?



Maple seeds, a.k.a. helpcopters, another way that seeds travel from place to place.  Oh, and they're super fun to toss up in the air for about 10 minutes.  


Stage 1 in making spider webs.  

An oldie but a goodie for first graders.  Repeated readings and controlled vocabulary ensure success for all.


Second graders are reading Marc Brown's Arthur books.  Marc hides his children's names in each book. It adds another level of humor and interest.  Can you find Tolon, Tucker, and Eliza in these illustrations?


We tally the number of school days each morning.  Thanks C.B.!


Every week or so we estimate how many pockets we have on our clothing that day.  Each child then takes a cube for each pocket.  Then we work cooperatively to stack the cubes in sticks of ten and leftover (remainder) ones.  

We are strong and kind citizens.  We demonstrate the four B's of behavior each day.  Lakewood Paw power!
