Students in Mrs. Morse's Culinary Arts class recently spent time in the Foods Lab writing their own recipes for an appetizer. After learning about how to identify the five parts of a recipe and annotating a recipe, they were challenged to write their own. Students had to use what ingredients were available and through trial and error, created an appetizer recipe that will be a part of a class cookbook.

For Halloween this year, teachers at H.B. Patch dressed as characters from Aaron Reynolds' books, "Creepy Carrots", "Creepy Pair of Underwear", and "Creepy Crayons". Throughout the day teachers took turns reading to different classes so the students heard all three books throughout the day. This experience allowed for discussions about similarities and differences between the books and opinions of which book was their favorite and why. It was a great day of learning and fun.

Día de los Muertos is a colorful celebration and a time to remember loved ones. The holiday originated in Mexico, but is now celebrated all over Latin America on November 1-2. Some common elements include ofrendas or altars, calaveras de azúcar or sugar skulls, marigolds and pan de muerto. This year, Mrs. Babcock's second grade class had a special learning experience about Dia de los Muertos led by one of their classmates. Melissa and her mom made pan de muerto for the class to try, which is bread of the dead. Additionally, Melissa wrote a poem and read it to the class. What a leader! Way to shine Melissa!!

The 4K Bridges Math unit in October was all about pumpkins! The students patterned, counted, weighed, and measured pumpkins of all sizes. For this activity, students had to cut a piece of string to the length they thought they needed to fit around the pumpkin. Miss Kelly made a paper "belt" to fit around the middle, and students had to bring their string up to compare if their string was shorter, longer, or the same length as the belt!
