Happy Halloween Parade!

A look at our Halloween fun!

Students witches brew creations!

The Frankenstein I made to greet students at the door

When you opened up his stomach, there was a picture of the kiddos making spooky faces

The haunted house Nic helped me create!

Inside the windows were individual sticker pictures of each student, including Tillie's and my 1st grade photo, and another group shoot.

Leaf Creations

This week in ELD, students collected leaves, crafted a leaf picture, and wrote stories about them. I was amazed by the creativity and the wisdom these young 1^st graders have. When I least expect it, kids surprise you with their ingenious.

A Special Visit

This week, my Mom and Dad came out from Colorado and visited my class. They jumped right in and helped students with their spelling and sounding out strategies. It was a joy to have them see me as a teacher and meet my wonderful class!

They're twins! Tillie's arm is in a sling due to her shoulder surgery. My mom
sling is due to a dislocated shoulder.
