Halloween Fun

On Halloween, Mrs. Jones, aka Pirate Penelope, told spooky stories and danced to fun songs like Ghostbusters.  We loved all the decorations.  I tried to take pictures in the dark, but they just didn't come out as good.  We waited until the end and had our picture taken with Pirate Penelope.  We also had fun with pumpkins. We did lots of math activities with our pumpkins that our families sent in. Below are a few of the pumpkin activities.

Doing the Monster Mash, it's a graveyard smash!

Pirate Penelope told several spooky stories.

We estimated how much string would fit around our pumpkin and then checked our estimations.
We learned the new term, circumference.

We also estimated if our pumpkin weighed more than a bag of sugar or less.
Then we weighed our pumpkin. 

Next we graphed what kind of face we wanted on our Jack-o-lantern.

Then, we estimated how many seeds we thought would be in our pumpkin.

Our next task was to out all those seeds.  We put them in groups of 10.
We decided that would make it easier to count.

And finally, we have our Jack-o-lantern.

We also made Halloween patterns with foam Halloween shapes.

We also did math activities with DEM BONES but I forgot to take pictures.
We had lots of fun on Halloween.  Thanks to the parents that sent in candy and treats for our goody bags.
The snacks were good too.  Thanks for the special snacks.
