The first week of October was Spirit Week at our school to help us get excited for the Riley Run Festival! Check out our fun hats we got to wear on hat day:
On Friday, October 11th, we finally got to participate in the Riley Run Festival! We began the event with some volleyball:
Then, we RAN!!
Even though running a bunch of laps was hard work, we did it with smiles on our faces and had a blast! We are so proud to be Eagles!
1) Swimming: The kids did OUTSTANDING during their first week-long unit of swimming in P.E.! I was so impressed with how they were prepared each day, demonstrated great behavior, and were super brave to get right in the water and swim! They each earned some serious Eagle Eyes for their hard work!
2) Science Unit: We've been learning a lot about weather!
One thing in particular we learned about was some different types of clouds and how they could help us predict the weather.
We got to do a really fun activity with shaving cream on our desks to model the different types of clouds!
Waiting patiently and checking out some "cumulonimbus clouds"
Breaking "cumulonimbus clouds" up into fluffy "cumulus clouds"
Beginning to flatten our "cumulus clouds" into "stratus clouds"
Beginning to turn "stratus clouds" into wispy "cirrus clouds"
We also acted out the clouds to help us remember their features and purposes!
Safe to say, our weather unit has been a lot of learning fun!
3) Daily Read-Aloud: We finally finished and officially decided we LOVED The Doll People by Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin! What a fun book!
