Thanksgiving

It is always so fun to read how the students cook up their Thanksgiving turkey. Some of the students this year even wrote how they would shoot and gut the turkey and then get it cooked-in the microwave! We enjoyed making our own butter and trying it on pumpkin muffins. We also learned and played some old time games to finish up our short week.

i-Pad Turkeys

In 2nd grade we have fun disguising a turkey and writing about it but this year Integrated Technology showed a great app and project doing this using our i-pads. What a great way to update this activity and the class loved doing this. They used their typing skills next to describe the turkey.  The students would not allow me to even use a push-pin in their picture to display their work because they did not want a tiny hole in their project-what a hoot!

Magnets

We have been exploring the push, pull, and properties of magnets. We worked in stations to test our magnets and decide what makes a magnet attract objects.

Pumpkins and Halloween

We finished the month of October with the Red Ribbon Parade, Spider Research and poem writing, our annual Pumpkin Investigation, and of course our Halloween costumes. It has been a busy but productive month! You can check out more of the pictures on the classroom website.
