November 3, 2017

What a week it has been! We had so much fun celebrating Halloween!

The boys and girls were excited to examine a real pumpkin. We used our five senses to investigate the pumpkin and the students described what they saw, touched, and smelled. They were amazed to watch how to carve a pumpkin.

Our Peppa Pig pumpkin!

In the STEAM Lab, the students made skeletons from K'nex. They watched a video about bones and joints and then worked together to build a skeleton with a spine, arms, legs, joints, and a head.



The Mission Party was so much fun! After the parade, the children in Pre-K through 8th grade played games together in the gym - we even made some new friends! We also shared a snack and had a great pizza lunch together. What a great day for the HCA community!




We are sensing a theme with Show and Tell and snacks 😉  George brought in raisins for Show and Tell and decided he wanted to share them at the snack table with his friends.


Miss Webb taught the class a dance to "Monster Mash." There were lots of giggles as they learned to do the robot, walk like Frankenstein, and of course, we had to incorporate some "Thriller" moves!
