Don't you just love these monsters?? Come by our room to see them and make your fears disappear!

One Little Jack O' Lantern

Carving a jack o' lantern is a lot of fun. First we had to decide between a happy face or a scary face. Then we cut off the top and put our hands inside to get out the pumpkin goo. (I love this phrasing from Jack!) Next we cut out the face. And finally Queen Hicks put in a light and told a scary story. (with a not scary ending!)
One lucky student got their name drawn to take "ol jack home.

We choose the scary jack o' lantern face for carving.

And our beautiful assistant, Sweet T (Mrs. Teuschel) did the carving.

The winner of the jack o'lantern! -- Kristian!

Reading Celebration Rhythms

The Reading Celebration was awesome with the "Ohm Glocken" band getting us into the swing of reading. Then just for fun we followed up with our own percussion music the next day.

Jack, Kristian and Khalil are ready to jam for reading!

Musicians in motion (or did the Queen not focus?)

The jam session

The didjeridu, an Australian instrument. It sounded pretty freaky.

Our own jam session

Macy, Khalil and Rithika get in the groove.

Ring a ling for Grayson, David and Daniel, but lots of chicka chicka for Maya
