Halloween @ School...We're all Culver's employees (back story...we had a PTA volunteer night at Culver's in the beginning of October to raise money for the school. It was a HUGE success and a lot of fun, thus the costumes).

Spider Comprehensive Projects

I am so proud of how much the kids learned about spiders during "Spider Week."  We finished our investigation of spiders with a comprehensive activity that incorporated multiple aspects of our newly learned knowledge.  First, we made a spider craft with our 6th grade buddies which we later labeled the parts of.  The firsties can now properly identify the abdomen, cephalothorax, legs, eyes, spinnerettes, and fangs on a spider.  We made a colorful web for our spider using an AB coloring pattern.  Finally we wrote numerous facts we learned and opinions we have about spiders. 

We have gotten many comments about our awesome projects from others in the school.  One other teacher even came in our room one day during a lesson to tell us all what a super job we did and how proud she was of us.  She said she was really impressed by all of the facts that everyone had written.  The kids were beaming.  :D

What shall I be for Halloween?

I saw this a long time ago on Pinterest.  I made my own personal version for my firsties' writing center this week (the week of Halloween).  I'm super excited to see their responses!  Honestly, I still don't know what I'm even going to be for Halloween.  At school all of us teachers usually dress up as a theme (last year we were all Barbies), but this year I'm still not quite certain what we're supposed to be.  Two ideas have been thrown around, and I don't know what was decided.  Honestly, I'd rather go as whatever I wanted, i.e. a book character.  Oh, well.  The kiddos keep asking me what I'm going to be, though, and I keep telling them I don't know.  So their ideas will be completely their own.  I'll post responses when they're finished.  :D
