10 kids!!

Sometimes on Fridays we get to do "Friday free choice" where the kids get to choose the activity they do.  Today is  Wednesday but we only have 10 kids at school today so we got to do Friday free choice on a Wednesday.  The kids have had fun today since there are not many of us in class but they are ready for all of their friends to come back!  Feel better everyone who is home sick.  We miss you!

Halloween

Our yummy fruit kabob pumpkin thanks to Becky!

Our spooky class!

 

What a great Halloween party!  Thank you to all of the families who helped out.  We did a really fun craft (hopefully your child brought it home because they were really cute!!)  Afterwards we got to eat lots of healthy treats!  The kids had a great day being in costume too...and they stayed in character for the day too!

Healthy Eating- Justin's Peanut Butter Cups

We tried Justin's peanut butter cups today and the kids loved them!  http://www.justins.com/ We talked about how eating sugar is ok in moderation so we only ate 1 each.  And we read the ingredients and we knew everything that was in them!  Here are some of the kids comments:

It’s delicious and nutritious!

It’s the most delicious treat in the whole world, even outer space!

I don’t like it, I love it!

It’s so yummy I could eat so many of them!

I love the peanut butter inside!
