PreK Colors with 2A

We had a nice visit with our PreK buddies.  The PreK friends are in the middle of a unit about colors. Our 2A Fireworks helped the PreK fill in words and create pictures to represent the color.

They are hanging in the PreK hallway for all to see!

Halloween Stories


The Fireworks told scary and creative Halloween stories!  We picked out spooky words to make pop in our writing, and we published them during Writer's Workshop!  The stories were told with expression and your child really enjoyed writing the Halloween story.  

Enjoy our FrIghTenInG slideshow!

Diwali: the Festival of Lights

The Fireworks enjoyed having Ria's mother in to share about Diwali: the Festival of Lights!  We learned why they celebrate, how they celebrate and had the opportunity to taste some of the delicious treats that are made during the celebration.  
Ria's mother sharing about the traditions that come with Diwali.

She had a PowerPoint presentation so we could follow along!
The Fireworks were SO interested in Diwali and all she had to share!

Ria's mother talked about how the traditions all began!
We were impressed with all of the information our class knew about the Festival of Lights!

Thank you so much for sharing with us!

A BIG thank you to Ria and her mother for sharing their traditions with us!  We had so much fun learning with you and we hope that you had a wonderful, family-filled Diwali celebration!
