Week 8

What an exciting week we have had here in Mrs. P.'s class! We kicked off our week with Holy Childhood's annual Spooktacular, an afternoon of Halloween games, activities, and fun! Our classroom's witches, cheerleaders, clowns and superheroes played candy-corn BINGO with their sight words, danced the Monster Mash, and watched the school's own feature film, "School of Terror." We hope everyone had as much fun at home on Halloween as we did here!

As you all may know, our classroom theme here in Mrs. P.'s class is "The Road to the Olympics," and over the duration of each new month our students learn about a new country and sport. In November we will be learning about Canada and archery. This week students learned five new sight words related to these two topics: Canada, medal, archery, bow, and arrow.

But before we completed our month discussing Germany and rowing, Mrs. P.'s class had the opportunity to visit the Pittsford Crew center where real rowing teams practice and train for competitions! Students got a tour of the entire facility, checking out its skiffs, oars, and awards, and we even had the chance to try out rowing ourselves in the center's indoor pool, where Team Mrs. P. looked like a bunch of pros! Mrs. P.'s class would like to extend a huge thank you to the Pittsford Crew center for such a hospitable and fun learning experience!
