We LOVE candy!

Look at these cuties!  They earned TEN coins as a crew for compliments and chose to spend them on a day to wear their costumes!!  

We spent a lot of the day centered around a book called, "Harriet's Halloween" all about a dog who learns that sharing is better than keeping to herself.  Here is the crew sorting, counting, and graphing their candy!

I love that they get comfortable learning in their own special way!

Serious thinking going on in her head!

By the end of the day we figured out we had extra candy in our box. It was extra candy BEYOND all the candy bags we counted.  I asked the crew what to do with the extra and a lot of ideas came up.  One pirate suggested we donate the extra to the homeless.  Mrs. Brim read us a book last week about helping them so they called for a vote right then- the extra candy goes to the homeless!  Yay!

Super heroes taking a break to enjoy reading together!

More learning fun!

                                               

Fall Center Fun

Fall Centers are always fun! Is GAK a solid?  A liquid? A gas?  The CREW loved making this slime & testing it to figure out which property of matter it was!  Mrs. Goswami rocked this station- goo and ALL!!

            

 

  

 One of our stations was created by Mrs. Hampton. This cute little hat inspired by the book, Room on the Broom!  We watched the movie at IMAX and it was so cute to hear the crew taking turns reading the book or even acting out the hat falling off the witch.

  

  

 Challenge Station:  Build a candy tower as high as you can that can stand by itself!  Each pirate started with a planning sheet and time to feel the candy to decide what tools would be best for their own candy tower!  

    

  

  

Mr. Hampton guarded the candy supplies and cheered the pirates on as they were building!

This took some serious thinking!

  

This pirate had the tallest tower!!!!!!!!  Wahoo!!!!

  

This was the next tallest tower!!  Way to go!

    

I LOVE this station created by Mrs. Coston!  The crew decorated frames around their black and white picture!!

Here is the crew making necklaces and coloring!

The festivities on board the ship were FUN!
