October 13th -- Noah's Birthday!!

Today it is Noah's 5th Birthday! Happy birthday Noah! :) Noah brought in "Ghost Strawberries" as his birthday treat. So, this morning we made predictions on what we thought Noah's "Ghost Strawberries" would be. The following are the children's predictions word for word: Ghosts with strawberries in them? Ghosts could be red? Strawberries could have ghosts all over them? Strawberries with ghosts on top of them? Strawberries with mummies? Strawberries with "ghosteses" people on them? Ghosts with pumpkins on it? Cupcakes with ghosts on them and strawberries? Strawberries with flowers on it? Batman strawberries? Strawberry might be white? Strawberries is the ghosts body?
*Robert's prediction was pretty close as he said, "Strawberries might be white?" Noah and his Mom made us fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate and they were delicious! Thank you for the yummy and healthy treat Mrs. Montgomery! Noah even took one to our principal, Ms. Sharpe. He then said, "Maybe our music teacher would like to have one too?!" (SO CUTE!) So, we delivered one to Mrs. Hatfield and she was very thankful. This afternoon we will do a Noah's Arc activity. I have read the Noah's Arc story a few times to the children and I thought it would be appropriate to do our activity today on Noah's birthday! They are all very excited.

Our YOGA pose for the week is called 'Take 5' and it is an expression meaning to take a break. When you take five breaths it gives you a quick rest whenever you need it. If you are angry, tired, frustrated -- just breath. Take 5 also helps you focus and concentrate.

*YogaKids Affirmations:
"When I get upset, I take 5."
"When I get frustrated, I take 5."
"Before a test, I take 5 to quiet my brain and focus my mind."
"I take 5 and feel calm."

In Math, we are talking about thin and thick. On Thursday morning we will make a thick and thin pizza. We plan on enjoying them as our snack on Thursday, so if you would like to join us you are more than welcome!

Tomorrow is our trip to the pumpkin patch and we are very excited! Friday evening we will gather together for our Family Pumpkin Carving Night here at SJA.

That is all for now, thanks for visiting our classroom blog. Come back soon!!

Enjoy this gorgeous fall afternoon.
