Mealworms
We have mealworms in our class. They live in a vial with wheat germ. They eat sweet potatoes and apples. They molt, which means they break out of their skin and shed because they are too big. Then they will turn into pupas that look like mummies. Then they are going to turn into Darkling Beetles.

Pumpkin Day!!!!
On Friday it was a special day because it was pumpkin day! We did a lot of activities with pumpkins. We counted the seeds by groups of 10 and we wrote adjectives about our pumpkins. We also watched the movie; It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We measured the circumference of our pumpkins using a string and a yard stick. We also figured out the weight of our pumpkins by using a scale. We made pumpkin pie in a bag too. We had to bang the graham crackers to crush them. We squished and squashed the filling in a bag using our hands.

Fire Safety
We went into a big trailer with the firefighters. They taught us how to get down on the floor if you hear the smoke alarm. First you feel the door. If the door is cold then peek to see if there is smoke. If the door is hot DON'T open the door. If you see smoke put a blanket or something else under the door to keep out the smoke. Then if you are on the second floor yell for help and throw your toys out the window to get someones attention. If you are on the first floor you need to jump out of your window and go to your family's meeting area. Mine is at our neighbor's house (Sarina) and mine is at the tree in my front yard (Emily).

Apple Day
We had our Apple Day last week. We did several fun activities all involving apples. First, we wrote adjectives about our apples we brought in. Some of the adjectives we came up with were juicy, red, bumpy and smooth. Then we read a story about the little red house with no windows and doors. There was a secret at the end of the story. Maybe you know the secret: what is hidden in the middle of every apple? Our class also used water colored paints to paint our apple trees for our apple number stories. Then we tasted six different apples. Our class voted on gala apples for our favorite taste. Miss Herrmann, helped us make apple chains at the end of the day. We learned about the steps to grow an apple. First a seed needs to be planted, that turns into an apple tree, then a blossom grows and a bee comes to pollinate the apple blossom. Then the blossom turns into an apple. We had a great apple day!!!
