Pumpkins decorated from two years ago.
We began the day with our weekly Test. The test contained Science, Socials, Math and Language arts questions and of course Spelling. The students then worked on a H A L L O W E E N acrostic poem in handwriting.
a sample Acrostic poem is:
H allow caves are dark and damp.
A ghost follows me over the hills.
L isten, hear the wind flow across the lake.
L ook, see the green goblin.
O hh! You scared me!
W e kids love candy!
E at on ware wolfs!
E nter the haunted house
N o trying to be brave in the haunted house!
After Recess we reviewed our weekly Aesop Fable. The Fable this week is the Tortoise and the Hair. Many students were already familiar with this Fable so it allowed me to emphasize that these stories are all part of our shared heritage and shared culture. When people rush and don't plan they often run into trouble. As my father used to say, "If you don't have time to do it right the first time; When are you going to find time to do it again?" The students had to write the Fable in their own words, draw a picture and do a border and then list the moral or message.
At 1125 we broke for an early lunch as we had to get ready to go over to the Native Friendship Center to witness the raising of the totem pole. We walked over to the Friendship Center just before lunch around 11:50. It was raining hard, off and on. Mrs. Burley gave us 5 big umbrellas which helped a lot. So even though the students were a little wet and a little cold, in the future, as they pass by the totem pole they will remember and talk about being there for the raising. We got back to the school around 1:10 and had a bit of time to warm up and then read, finish our morning test or work on finishing off the Aesop's Fable. After we warmed up we went up to buddies where we helped make Halloween lanterns.
After Buddies we finished our banking, and ended the day with A P.E. period.
