Scenes from Wonderland

Jameson, Sarah Jane and Sam L. have fun drawing faces on pumpkins with bath crayons.  They used a tooth brush to wash them clean.

Melting Witch

Marley, Harper and Eden threw wet sponges to try and make the chalk witch melt away.

Other highlights from Wonderland include a Jack-o-lantern with three faces, a classroom spiderweb using yarn and chairs, spooky hidden pictures and monster masks.

Ameren UE

Children's Theatre

The whole school enjoyed a play sponsored by Ameren UE today.  The topic was Green Energy.  The children learned about what resources we use to make energy.  Through this interactive play with characters including Mr. X(who stole the world's resources), Agent Double O Negative and Boomerang Jacky(who had to stop Mr. X), the children were given three ways to help use less energy. 

They include:

1. Using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs

2. Turning your thermostat up or down two degrees depending on the season.

3. Unplug any phones etc. when not in use.

Books we've been reading in Honalee

We read No David by David Shannon and discussed how we can say things in a positive way and reviewed our "can do rules."
