This week at school, we read the book “Hooray! A Piñata!” This book tells the story of a girl who wanted a special piñata for her birthday party. Then, during small groups, we are making our very own class piñata! We used a balloon, newspaper, and paper mache.

​When it it is finished, we will be filling it with candy and opening it ourselves! Hooray!

We had a very special morning at school today! We were lucky enough to have Father Dan come over to teach us all about Our Lady of Guadalupe. He showed us a wonderful video, and then he showed us 2 different tilmas, similar to which Juan Diego wore.

Thank you Father Dan!!

To celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, we colored some Day of the Dead coloring pages, taste tested the “Bread of the Dead,” and watched Coco! We also visited the Day of the Dead altar at our school. What a fun celebration.

Today at school, we used water bottles and various materials (beads, sequins, even candy corn!) to make musical instruments! We then practiced shaking them fast and slow to hear the different noise levels. What a fun Friday!

PS. Thanks to all the families who donated the water bottles to our class!!

This week at school, we got our own class pumpkin! Before carving it open, we studied our pumpkin. We drew/wrote about our observations. Then, we carved it open and everyone got to touch and feel the pumpkin “guts” and seeds! We had so much fun!

Yesterday at school, we went on a walk in the neighborhood to collect different colored Fall leaves! After collecting the leaves, we then sorted them by color. Talk about Fall fun!

Today at school, we read the book “Amazing Apples” which taught us how apples grow, and we talked about how many people pick apples in the Fall! We then made some apple art by stamping apples using paint. What a fun Friday!!

Today, we used marbles and paint to make pumpkins!

Yesterday at school, we were lucky to have Father Dan give us a tour of church! Since we will start attending mass next week, Father Dan taught us all about what happens at church. What a special day!
