Happy Veterans Day!
To prepare for this special holiday we spent yesterday learning about
who a Veteran is and what they do. We
were so happy to have Mrs. Johnston with us for the entire day who is an Air
Force Veteran. The crew loved asking her
questions! We learned about the different
branches in the military. We
brainstormed character traits of a Veteran and wrote letters to soldiers. The crew had fun marching, learning to salute,
singing a poem about how soldiers are brave, and even learning a marching cadence about
place value. We read the book by Eve
Bunting called, “The Wall.” It was a day
of realizing what Veterans have done for us and how thankful we are to them for
protecting us.

How Sweet It Is...
How sweet it is to be world changers!
Our crew collected 53 POUNDS of candy to "sell" back to a local dentist who will share the candy with soldiers! We will have less cavities, tummy aches, and our hearts are happier knowing we SHARED like Harriet finally did in the book, "Harriet's Halloween Candy."

Science Buddies!
The Pirate crew had a blast today learning about "Properties of Matter" with our 4th grade buddies! I loved seeing my firsties sorting and asking questions. The 4th graders showed leadership and patience with the pirate crew!

Pumpkin Math Fun!
They decided to count by tens. They had 676 seeds!
Presentation Time!
This is our crockpot pumpkin bread that took 3 hours to cook.
Eighteen out of twenty voted that they liked it, then we
had fun graphing the results and writing our opinion of the pumpkin bread.
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. The crew LOVED them!
It was a sweet ending to a fun day of learning!
