Candy & Fruit Party

Here are a few pictures from our Candy and Fruit Party. We made chocolate covered strawberries earlier in the day and masks. Also, we made finger puppets and took a few class pictures. A class picture with our masks, and a silly faced one. The party was a lot of fun!

Octopusis

A recommendation from a parent that follows this blog, requested that I put up some of the children's own writings. This has spread like wildfire, and I have had a few children want to get published "for real"! So we have two work samples, I wish I had my camera today and was able to show their pictures, but I will definitely include a picture for the next post. The journal topic was if you could be an animal, what would you be? Why?

Oktopusis
My anumil is a oktipus kus vay liv udr uotr. I liik vam. By Jayden. Ydeu frum Daniel. Ulustrad by Skyler. Oktopusis

(My animal is a octopus because they live under water. I like them. By Jayden. Idea from Daniel. Illustrated by Skyler. Octopus' -- He included the title page at the end, Skyler did not really illustrate, but he clearly understand the need for a title page :)

Greta's Journal entry:
If I were a butterfly I would fly around all round in the forest. Greta.

As you can see, Jayden's entry is completely sounded out by himself. Both Greta and Jayden worked so hard on their work that I really wanted to share their work with you all. We can see so much progress with sounding words out and their handwriting has improved as well! Hope you enjoy seeing a little bit of our day!
