Oh my gosh are the pumpkins cute! I will post a slide show of all of them later tonight, when I get to my home PC. In sign language, we learned the signs for a poem called "Trick or Treat" that will go into the poetry binders. Students practiced showing nine and ten counters in a 10-frame and practiced writing the numbers nine and ten. We read the Ww book and brainstormed words that begin with W. We did a new activity today in which students had to identify what part of the word a letter sound occurred--beginning, middle, or end (the /t/ in bat is at the end). I thought they did very well with it! Students who turned in disguised pumpkins filled out a form today that said, "I am not a pumpkin, can't you see? I am a _____ so don't carve me!" I put the forms beside their pumpkins in the hall. Riley was the musical chairs champion. Yay, Riley!
