Camera Man Daren Bower!

We kicked off our community helpers unit with inviting Eli's dad to our classroom.  He is a camera man, or photo journalist, for Fox 17 News!  He showed us his cameras.  It weighs 18 pounds!

We even saw our faces on the monitor!

We got to hear our voices on the microphone:

Mr. Bower also told the class how he edits his videos-- with his computer!

Here is one for us adults... Mr. Bower told the class that he used to take video using a VHS, and one of the students said, "what is that?" :):)

Thank you so much, Mr.Bower, for your enthusiasm and showing the class all your neat equipment! It was a special day in Kindergarten!

We made pumpkin bread!

We wrapped up our pumpkin unit by baking pumpkin bread!  Yesterday, we cut the pumpkin in half, scooped out the seeds and pulp, then placed the pumpkin in the crockpot all day to soften.  Today, we scooped out the pumpkin and mixed all of our ingredients!  Look how it turned out...

Yum yum yum!

Thanks to Mrs. Iverson for her help today :) 

You can find the recipe we used today in your child's take home folder. Try making it at home together to build oral language, fine motor skills, listening/following directions skills, and most importantly... A chance to spend quality time with your munchkin! 

Measurement

Today we worked on measuring things with our own foot. Then we noticed that all of our feet were different sizes, so our measurements didn't come out the same. We then used a standard foot ( a ruler) to practice measuring objects in our room with straight edges and compared it to our own foot when we used it to measure!

Halloween party!

Thank you to all the wonderful parents who worked hard to make the Halloween Party a great time for our class! Please enjoy the pictures from our afternoon.
