Peek at our week 10/20-10/24

Good morning parents and guardians,

I hope you all had a great week! The month of October is about half way done, and our class has learned so much and had fun doing it. This week we learned about ways to stay healthy. Some of our week's activities were:
-learning about germs and why it is important to cover your mouth and wash your hand (we had fun with glitter this day)
-We also learned about healthy and junk foods (the students had a scavenger hunt using weekly ads and tried to locate as many healthy food and junk food to place on their paper)
-We discussed different types of marathons. We specifically went over the Color Run to get them more excited about it next week.
-Finally, for our Foody Fun Friday activity this week we made mouths! The kids had so much fun, and got a little messy. The activity was really easy to do, and had a Halloween twist.

  • 2 Apple slices smothered with peanut butter. Sandwiched in-between the slices were small marshmallows! Thats it! Easy-peazy!
    • Some quotes from yesterday
      • "Miss. Maciel this is so much fun!"
      • "I love this school!"
      • "This is the best day ever!"
      • "Can we eat this already?"
      • With a full mouth-"This is soooooo good…and healthy"
    • I love moments like this in my classroom. I shared pictures of this week on our shutter fly page. If you would like access please let me know and I can sign you up :)
