Keeping busy!

We have been very busy over the last few weeks. On October 3rd we had a guest visitor named Brenda from Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement (JA) is a program where people from the business world come into the classroom and teach the children about the community. She spent the whole day with us. They were able to use fake money to pay taxes, learned about the government, learned the difference between an assembly line vs. unit production, and much more about the community. It was a blast!

We have also been learning the difference between living and non-living things in science. Ask your child to tell you 3 differences. I bet they will know!




In writing we have been working on descriptive writing. Adding many details and "juicy" words to our writing pieces. We got to taste and describe Hershey Kisses and apples. In the pictures below, the children were put into groups. They had to taste a snack item such as potato chips, pretzels, etc. and then describe what they tasted using descriptive words. The class was to guess what snack they had based on their descriptions. It was very fun activity. Now we are writing about fall. They have been working really hard. I plan to hang their final copies in the hallway to display. Come by and see them if you get a chance.
