We have been having lots of fun in the classroom the last couple of days! Friday we celebrated finishing the book Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo by having a party (like the one Opal has in Gloria Dumps back yard) with Otis pickles, egg salad sandwiches (which they ate all of), Dump Punch, Cheese sandwiches and Litmus Lozenges (lemon drops and Werther's caramels) all while we watched the movie!
Here are some pictures of their finals projects!

Yesterday we celebrated the Reformation by doing several things with our pumpkins before carving them! They even got named! Bob Jr., Count Drac, Striker, Doodlebug and Strong Father! These are how the pumpkins turned out!
Here is a chart we made recording a little bit of our research!
Thank you to the Iverson family for donating the pumpkins for this project!
Also thanks to Aidens grandparents and Mrs. Iverson for helping us with this fun day!
Please keep in mind shorts cannot be worn to school again until 4th quarter.
We will remain on the October memory sheet for the remainder of this week! I will hand out November's memory verses on Friday!
Blessings on your week ahead!
Hope and Happiness
