Pumpkin Carving and Fall Celebration

In honor of fall, we decided to carve one of the pumpkins that we got on our field trip to Nivens Apple Farm. The kids thought it was so much fun getting their hands dirty. Salina scooping out some of the pumpkin seeds.

Jacob wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty!Tony even liked it!

Carter helped me decide on what kind of eyes to give our jack-o-lantern.

Mrs. Glenn was very proud of the nose she carved out.

Then it was time to carve out a mouth for our jack-o-lantern.

Our finished product!

Then we had some special snacks in honor of the fall season!

We had a lot of fun celebrating this special time of year!

Walk to School Day 2011

Last Wednesday morning, our school celebrated "Walk to School Day". This day lets our children get a "feel" for what it was like for students who used to have to walk to school on a daily basis. It also encourages our students to engage in physical fitness each and every day.

Salina and Amanda were our first banner holders.
Then, it was Jacob and Tony's turn.

After our walk, we all enjoyed some yummy popsicles!

Carter REALLY enjoyed his popsicle!

We all had a lot of fun exercising and celebrating "Walk to School Day"!

Welcome Fall!

Last Friday, we celebrated the start of October and the end of our unit on apples by making apple pie!We started by spreading out our dough. (Grands Biscuit dough)

We then spooned out apple pie filling.

Lastly, we sprinkled on mild cheddar cheese.
Ready to go into the oven!

The finished product! The picture does not do it justice! The pies were so good!

Tony enjoyed picking the cheese off of his pie.

Carter thought it was yummy!

So did Salina!Amanda ate her whole pie!
