Wii Love Rainy Day Recess!

Rainy days are no longer dreary, boring days in Orange Pod!  Thanks to a grant written by Mrs. Shelton and Ms. Holloway rainy day recess is one of our favorite things to do!  So far, Dance Dance Revolution is a BIG hit!

 

 

  

 

Restaurant Night...tonight!

4 pm to close at both locations!

Cheezies Pizza Parlor

We decided to turn our Home Living Center into a restaurant.  The children have been so excited and have really done a great job preparing everything!  Our grand opening is on Friday!

 

 



 

We made a web to help us get ready for our grand opening.

We also made menues and food!

 

We got the idea to make the food out of foam from Mrs. James' class in Purple Pod.



 

Scarlett and Shelby made brownies.

Everyone got to make a slice of pizza.

100th Day of School!!

We had a great time celebrating the 100th day of School!  Each classroom in Orange Pod had a different activity and we had a great time rotating from room to room having 100th day fun! 

 



We made 100 Day crowns in Mrs. Hanson's room.

 

In Mrs. May's room, we strung necklaces with 100 Fruit Loops.

 

In Mrs. Shope's room, we made a glyph that showed what we would look like when we were 100 years old.

 

We illustrated a special poem for our Poetry Notebooks in Ms. Holloway's room.

 

In our classroom, we made a special snack that had 100 things to eat!

 

 



Holiday Program

Our Holiday Program is tomorrow!  We will perform at 12:00!  We hope to see you in the Tiger's Den to watch our spectacular performance!  Please remember to dress your child in red, green, or white. 

Election Day!

Today we participated in our own mock elections.  Just like many of you, we went to the polls and cast our vote for our favorite presidential candidate.  It was very exciting!

We waited in line to vote.

 After showing our lunch tickets for identification, we got our ballots.

 

When it was our turn, we went to the voting booth.

 



Zac, Ellie and Jordan vote for their favorite presidential candidate.

 

 

 After marking their votes, Parks and Scarlett put their ballots in the box.

 

 

Shelby gets to wear her sticker so everyone knows that she voted!

 

At the end of the day, the results were read and at AEEC, the winner was Barack Obama.

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Why celebrate Halloween on only one day when you can celebrate all week long?  In our class we started the celebration by reading some of our favorite chants and stories.  We even put Halloween books in the Listening Center and Big Book Center.  The real fun came on Halloween day when we did rotations throughout Orange Pod.  There was a different activity in each classroom for the children to do.  They made scarecrow glyphs, sorted and graphed fall candies, listened to great stories, drew pumpkin pictures, made spider cookies and played candy corn bingo!  Everyone had a great time!
