Halloween
/Our Halloween was filled with festivities. In the morning we read Halloween books, dissected pumpkins, and counted hundreds of pumpkin seeds! We are working on our estimation skills and were quite surprised by the number of seeds in some of our pumpkins. We worked in small groups to determine the best way to count the seeds. Many groups decided to group the seeds in tens and then hundreds to make the counting more efficient and accurate. After lunch we took a walking field trip to Scott Hall to deliver the canned foods we collected for the Boxer FoodShare. We got to add our cans to the collection of food and hear about how the foods would be used. We also got to admire a display about Dia de los Muertos. Roxinny’s mom was able to talk to us about this Mexican holiday. Back at the ELC we sang our Halloween songs in front of the school before participating in our annual Halloween parade. Whew, what an exciting, fun-filled day!
