Happy Owl-oween!

We had so much fun making these cute little guys.... we used celery to stamp the feathers, and practiced shapes, following directions, and cutting skills to make our owls.  We have been learning about all kinds of cool and creepy creatures this month, like owls, bats, spiders, and other nocturnal animals!



Do humans count as cool and creepy creatures?  We are studying Mr. Bones, and all of our body systems, such as the digestive system, muscular system, skeletal system, and here, the circulatory system!  We'll learn about the nervous system and our amazing brains this week... and then top it all off with a capstone field trip to the clinic the day before Halloween.  Chaperones are welcome to attend with us, the morning of Oct. 30.  Let me know if you'd like to come along!

We learned what a REAL heart looks like, and drew and labeled one to put in our journals!



After learning about how the heart works, the kids built one of their own...


... and then pumped "blood" through it to simulate how a real heart works!




We have been working hard on a Halloween literacy project!  (I told you, I LOVE Halloween with Kinders!) We had SO much fun making our online e-book, Halloween ABC's!  Be sure to push the sound icons on each page to hear the book read by the authors!!!  



And last, but not least, we were invited to watch a Halloween play put on by Ms. Bonnie's drama class!  It was such a treat!  They did an awesome job, and we got to practice being a good audience!
