Pumpkin patch

Thanks for a wonderful time!

Pumpkins (continued)

We continued our pumpkin study with pumpkin stories and practiced cutting out pumpkins

And drawing different emotion faces

Afterwards we graphed which emotions the kids Drew and talked about which was drawn the most and least

Read for the record

Today we helped set a world record for the most kids reading the same book: bunny cakes where a brother and sister bunny make a cake for grandma's birthday. (Jstart.org/campaigns/read-record)

The kids made their own bunny cakes 

They made one cake out of play doh and one real cake and asked the parents "which one would you eat first?"

Preparing for our pumpkin patch

We learned about the pumpkin life cycle from seed to pumpkin 

D is for deer and learning about Alaska

Classroom camping as we prepare for Alaska Day this weekend

Examining deer hide, antlers, and bones!

Panning for "gold"

Mrs Marcia read us the Benny Benson flag story and we made Alaska flags for our Alaska day classroom parade on thursday

Going on a walk to find Alaska Flags nearby!

C is for community helpers

This week we learned about fire safety.

We went on a fire hydrant scavenger hunt

Fireman Adam came to visit

The kids got to sit in the fire truck!

Thank you Sitka fire hall!

Bears (continued)

If your child told you they touched a bear today, they were not kidding!

Phil mooney from fish and game came to talk with the kids about bear safety

The kids practiced saying "hey bear" and holding hands to look big if they encountered a bear on a walk
