LAST WEEK
It was a very busy week. 
We went to the MTYP to see "Alligator Pie".  Thank you to all of the parents who drove. 
Then got a VERY BIG pumpkin delivered to our class and we have been using it for math (measuring, comparing).  Mr. Wozney and Mr. Petkau had to use a cart to move it from my car to the classroom.  (It weighs 180 pounds!) 
We started work on our Fall Supper Art projects.  The kids are creating big paintings of ornamental corn using a black glue outline and tempera paint.  We will finish them this week.
We also made paper chain colour patterns and handprint spiders to decorate the room for our party.
We used finger paint to mix primary colours to make secondary colours and glued our "feely" objects into our Touch Booklets.













 
Meet Ormie and Jewel our pumpkins.


 
How tall is Ormie the BIG pumpkin?

 
How many blocks tall is Jewel the small pumpkin?

 
Measuring how big around are the pumpkins using "links".


 
Counting how many lines are on each pumpkin.


 
Does a pumpkin float or sink?

 
Can you roll a pumpkin?
