Things going home...

Good Afternoon! Just wanted to give you a heads up that there will be a fundraiser in cubbies tonight and one or two fall projects but I am going to keep the rest up around our classroom another week or so for decoration:) And then Monday, field trip forms go home! There will be a cover letter explaining times and activities. Please fill out the forms and send in with $6 by October 7th!!! Parents or grandparents are welcome to come, it will be $3 for adults and you can send in that payment when you send in your child's. It is such a fun day, I can't believe it is so close already!!!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend, see you all on Monday!

Another one for the books....

I know I say best day ever a lot but I have to say that each year, this is one of my favorite weeks!! We eat yummy food, we start thinking about fall, the weather SLLLLOOOOWWWWWLLLLYYY starts to cool down, and we just have so much fun!!!! Today we got to eat all of the best foods;caramel apples, apple cider, and apple pie!!!! It's been good but I am also so ready for our fall week next week so the kiddos can help me start decorating our room, we can make cute fall crafts, and just so we can have some fun together again! Thank you so much for another awesome week, I know a lot of kiddos are going to the Helias Homecoming Parade so I hope to see you there! Have a wonderful weekend and to all the Crusaders out there, Happy Homecoming!

Date Change

Hello all, I am so sorry but I told you the wrong date for the pumpkin patch. It is actually Thursday, October 10th! So sorry we had been debating between the two dates and I must have got confused on which one we officially picked! Again, so sorry for any inconvenience! Speaking of inconvenience, just a reminder that there is no school Monday, Sept. 16th and there is no after school care on Monday, Sept. 30th. Thanks for all your understanding!

No words...

Happy Tuesday Everyone! The kiddos had such a wonderful day today! They got to meet cowboys, rope some hay bales, and pet horses! Needless to say, they are all so worn out that they are sleeping soundly now LOL Mrs. Ratcliff had a better angle than me so I will upload some more pictures as soon as she sends them to me. Also wanted to let you all know that I have meetings this afternoon so there will be a sub here when you pick up today. Have a wonderful afternoon and enjoy hearing all of the fantastic stories from today's adventure!!!

September 27th: Family Fun Night! 

           -First one of the year.

           -Probably starting around 6 or 6:30

           -Fun night out on the playground, getting to meet all of the kiddos new friends and parents:)

October 11th: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

           -I know a lot of parents always like to attend this one so wanted to give you time to take off if you would like to.

Skittle Scientists

So I didn't get a chance to share these yesterday but here is our Skittle Experiment from Tuesday. We laid the skittles in a rainbow pattern. We poured hot water into the middle of our dish until it reached the bottoms of our skittles, we talked about how when we hold skittles in our hands and they get warm the color melts onto our hand. We predicted that the color might get on our dish when it got hot and the result was a beautiful rainbow!

Step 1: Lay out the skittles

Step 2: Warm water....

Step 3: Let there be color!

We began brainstorming other candies that made our hands colorful when they melted and we decided to try MnMs. They didn't work quite as well but they had fun experimenting:)

Monday, no more

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Color week is starting off great-we are recognizing the colors of shapes around our classroom and the colors on our clothes, we are recognizing Bb still and working on find letter Cc everywhere we look! We talked about God's Creation today and will continue talking about all of the things God has created for us throughout the week. Reminder to please send them in old clothes on Thursday since we will be playing with some powdered colors outside:) Have a fabulous afternoon!
