I forgot to type in the spelling words on the blog so we skipped the test and we began the day in the computer lab typing in writing assignments from the week including 10 clues to guess ourselves then 10 clues to guess a Halloween object. The students worked hard and are learning how to use Word, a very helpful and useful learning tool.
After recess we made costumes for our stuffy's and made icing to decorate cookies. It was kind of like a cooking show. It challenged the students to think creatively, and to plan and work together, all skills they will need in life.
After Lunch we had buddies then judged the creations and finished the day with P.E. The Stuffy costumes were judged then the cookie creations. To judge picked 6 cookies from their group to enter into the quarter finals. Some groups, instead of picking the best 6 out of all the cookies the group made, each member just in one of their own. The class was then given two vote coupons and went around the class and picked the ones they liked the best. They could only vote for one in their own groups. After all the coupons were counted then the two cookies from each group with the most votes were put into the finals. The above process was done again. It was all good fun and no one seemed to upset when their amazing creations did not win. There is some belief that the boys vote for boys instead of the best ones but the girls seem to expect that. Ha ha. Well done everyone I am proud of you all and think you all did an amazing job.
Have a fun and safe Halloween, Hope the rain stops long enough to get enough loot to keep your teachers jumping for a month or so.
