Wow! It's October.

It is has been a brutal first couple months. I like the change! ((well somewhat)) However, I have signed on for too many things..but that is me! I have finally figured out a routine and we have settled into it nicely. I have a college student that comes in twice a week for her college class. She observes me and teaches a lesson each time and I give feedback. She is better than what I have had in the past. Yay me and less stress!

For October, the students made these awesome pumpkins by rolling strips of orange construction paper. Then they goopy glued the rolls together to make a pumpkin shape. It took about a week, but it was fun. Here is the website that inspired my project. I modified it a smidge so my fourth graders could do it. They enjoyed displaying their masterpieces.
