Magic is happening on the Learning Carpet

In the beginning of the year, I read a story about a magic carpet.  I told the class that we have a magic carpet in our room.  I call it our Magic Learning Carpet.  Students were instructed that if they follow the classroom expectations while on the carpet, magic will happen!  I want to announce that magic is indeed happening in our classroom.  Students are learning and growing!  It is exciting to see.  







Each morning our class writes a morning message together.  Students each have a specific day for sharing their message.   We are working hard at using the verbal pathways for correct letter formation.  


We have been learning about the different kinds of fiction books we have in our classroom library.



Veterans Day

Luther Elementary School held a special assembly on Friday morning, November 11, 2011 to honor those who have served and are serving our country.  It was a wonderful way to begin the day!

Pumpkin Run and Lots of Fun!

We began our day with a question...Does a pumpkin float?  Most students thought that the pumpkin would not float.  We found out that the pumpkin did indeed float!






We enjoyed decorating our pumpkins.







 We also loved playing number Bingo with fly markers! 



In the afternoon, we went outside for the warm up exercises and Pumpkin Run!  It was fun for all!!










Following the Pumpkin Run, we enjoyed a Spata family favorite, Popcorn by Frank Asch.




 We made our Monster Mash.



We made a graph to show our favorite Jack-O-Lantern faces.
Scary was the winner and so that is how we carved our pumpkin.  The students loved seeing and touching the pumpkin pulp!




Everyone made a spider treat with cheese spread, pretzels, and Ritz crackers.







Food, Fun, and Friendship...it does not get any better than that!  Thank you to all our parents who sent food, pumpkins, and party supplies!  We could not have had our party without your support!!
Thank You!!!
