Geometric Shapes




We used modeling clay and toothpicks to make 2-D and 3-D geometric shapes. We started out making a triangle and graduated to pentagonal pyramids.

Bobbing for Apples!




Halloween was here and since they have taken most of the fun out of it, we decided to do one of the fun things that is a Halloween tradition and bob for apples!
We dumped out our Lego container, the kids washed it out and we filled it with water and apples!
Each student took turns and had one minute to grab an apple using only their teeth!
Griselda was the only one with a mouth big enough to snag one! She also proudly showed us that she can get her whole hand in her mouth, too. Quite impressive! Ms. Petree chickened out and decided not to show how big her mouth is and didn't bob.
