What great artist

Today I was teaching the class about overlapping when drawing. They totally got it. We drew these great pumpkins that were overlapping. After we traced over the pencils drawings with sharpies we colored in the pumpkins very hard with our

pumpkin colored crayons. Then we added some grass. After that the fun really began we crumpled and crumpled and uncrumpled then crumpled our paper some more. After we flattened out our pictures for the last time we lightly in one long stroke painted our pumpkin patch. They did a great job, come check them out sometime.

Getting our shirts ready

Yesterday was teachers choice so all the elementary classes met in our classroom and we tied our white t-shirts with rubber bands to make our pumpkin t-shirts. All of the classes are very excited to see how they turn out. After all the shirts were tied up we all sat and watched Scooby Doo and ate popcorn. It was a great, fun afternoon.

Individual pictures

I love to take pictures of the kids in my class. Yesterday during circle I took some candid pictures of these cuties.

Fall has taken over our classroom

We have taken down all the apple stuff and begun all our fall activities. I love this time of year all the beautiful colors, the crisp air and the excitement of the count down until the Fall Festival and our trip ti the pumpkin patch. The kids are settling into the routine of school very well and making new friends. I know it will be a great year.

I must be loud

We are learning about our senses and talking about hearing and listening. We were drawing pictures in our "ear" book about things that we hear. Lauren drew a pictures a picture of "Miss Cathy". I must be loud or maybe I am quiet she also drew a worm crawling in the dirt and butterfly wings flapping.
