Hello Everyone Out There in Cyber Land!!!
We have been working on a few different things here at Cottonwood Creek. Fall is definitely here! Aside from working on homework and take home projects, we have also been working on writing stories (creativity/grammar/penmanship) and for the younger kids, we have been working on writing sentences (grammar/penmanship). What better way than by coloring a picture of choice and then having them write a story about the picture. Our minds are full of information that can be channeled through our fingertips. In between all the writing, I rewarded the children last week with a scary movie (not to scary) and some refreshing popsicles...this got the children pumped up about Halloween!
Needless to say, they loved it! This week I have tried keeping everyone at bay with interesting info about our country, before we go on to Halloween overload. Yay! We have been learning and researching about each US state. We have even colored State flags and researched on line to learn more about each one. The children have actually enjoyed it! They have done such a nice job...I even made a window display for everyone in the complex to enjoy and learn a little bit more about our states in the union. I can't wait for the month of October to roll around...it will be nothing but fun decorating the whole place for Halloween! Can't wait to see all the other apartment complex's decorating ideas! Until then I hope you have a great rest of the week!
