\nSeriously. The day after Halloween should be a PD day.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nI.Am.EXHAUSTED.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\nBut, on the other hand…the wine is uncorked and all is well again in the world \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nANYWAYS! Despite the insanity, the kiddies had an exciting week. Here’s a peek at some of our festive activities:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAll week we hunted for sight words in our Halloween poem:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThroughout the week, we did a mini pumpkin investigation:<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter estimating how many seeds might be in our pumpkin, we split into groups and counting seeds by 10s:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe brainstormed, predicted, estimated, counted, and, in order to complete the last box (“How should we carve it?”)<\/i>, I had to carve that darn pumpkin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nI am, without a doubt, the world’s *worst* pumpkin carver. I paint pumpkins<\/a>, decorate pumpkins…but when it comes to carving, this is what happens:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe picture even makes it look better than it is. I couldn’t have spent more than 3 minutes on it before the kids explicitly questioned why I was “sweating and turning red.” Not my cup of tea.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnyways, after I finished carving that beast, we filled out the rest of our anchor chart:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nand completed our own miniature copies of the investigation:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI LOVED Cara’s little scrapbook paper pumpkins<\/a> and just had to recreate them with my kiddies. How cute is this?!<\/div>\n

\nDuring math, we reviewed comparing numbers to 5 and 10 with candy corn:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nLast but not least, I sent my sugar bugs home with ghost poop!<\/div>\n

\n…In case I fooled you, it’s not really poop from a ghost, it’s just marshmallows \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd that about wraps up our crazy week. I am going to slowly drift into a candy coma…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
