Jeff's Magic Show

We went to a magic show at lunch. Jeff turned a piece of string into a bunny! The bunny was naked but then we put a blue and red scarf in the magic bag and a mini magic wand too. Then Jeff pulled it out and it was a magician bunny. It was holding a card on his foot. It was the card Mia picked for a card trick. The magic words were "1 2 3 Abracadabra Peanut Butter Sandwiches!" He had 1 string and turned it into 2 strings and then into 3 and then 4. He had a feather stick and he put it behind his back and turned it upside down so it looked like the feather changed. (It was a joke). Then he flipped it and ran his hand over and all the colors changed into a pattern. Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Abrahams tied his thumbs together really tight and then he magically made them untied... we couldn't believe it! It was double super amazing!!!!

Count Down to Halloween

Hello Room 2 Families! I hope that eveyone was able to enjoy the awesome weather we had this weekend! I sure hope the weather holds out for our community walk on Tuesday and for Halloween on Sunday. My husband loves everything about Halloween - costumes, candy, and jack-o-laterns. He is a very talented pumpkin carver and each Halloween he choses a different person to carve into a pumpkin. A couple of years ago he carved my face (how romantic?) and last year he made a Mrs. Caldwell pumpkin.

This year he has volunteered to carve the face of one of the students in our classroom! Tomorrow morning we will have a draw to see who the lucky pumpkin will be!

A New Tool

This week I bought a new tool for our classroom - a Digital Voice Recorder. The recorder allows the kids to easily record themselves reading, singing, counting, or reflecting on thier learning. Many of the children have already learned to use the recorder independently. The recordings will enhance our learning portfolios. The kids have had a great time recording and listening to themselves read. Here is a sample of Amy reading Kevin Henkes' book "Sheila Rae the Brave".

Thanks A Lot

Last week we talked a lot about the things we are the most thankful for. We are thankful for family and friends, the clothes we have, the healthy food we have in our lunches each day, and for our homes. The children created beautiful "cartoonish" drawings using oil pastels and brightly coloured paper. Here is an Animoto of our work.

Weekender 4

Hello again Room 2 children and families! I can't believe that October is here already! Time flies when you're having fun. This weekend I spent some time enjoying the beautiful fall weather. I spent yesterday afternoon at McIvor Park doing a photo shoot with two very special kids, Emily and Aiden. We played in the leaves, climbed a couple of trees and checked out the play structure. Here is one of the pictures from our afternoon:

I hope that you had some time to enjoy the outdoors with your friends and family too! Have a great week!
