Take a look at all of the fun we had on Friday at the Halloween Celebration!! Thanks to our INCREDIBLE class families!!

Read the Halloween story below. Use the clues and deductive reasoning to solve the Halloween Logic game.

Aaron, Johnny and Matt were planning their outing for Halloween night and it was decided that each boy would dress in a different costume. After they had made their choices about what to wear, they thought it might be a good idea to figure out which Halloween candy each of them liked best so they could compare their goodies and make some trades after trick’or’treating was over for the evening. As it turned out, each boy’s favorite was different from the others. “Wow! This is going to be great!” exclaimed Johnny, “This is going to be the best Halloween ever!” Can you figure out, from the clues below, which costume each boy dressed in for Halloween? Can you also figure out each boy’s favorite candy?

How did you do with the Halloween logic games? Are you ready for additional logic games? Try to solve this tricking word logic problem:

At the pet center, 3 girls chose a pet to adopt and their parents filled out adoption papers for each pet. When they were finished, the attendant said that the pets would be delivered to their home the next day after the paper work had been processed. Minutes after they left the pet center, a mischievous parrot flew over to the stack of adoption papers and started shredding the papers with his sharp claws. The attendant gasped and ran over to rescue the papers, but found them in pieces.

We learned about polygons, which are 2-dimensional shapes!

We also learned about 3-dimensional shapes and their faces.

Some new vocabulary we will learn:

What are some examples of 3-dimensional shapes that you see or have at home?

It’s October and that means pumpkins are everywhere! Pumpkins here. Pumpkins there. Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere! Big ones, fat ones. Round ones, flat ones. Small ones, tall ones. Orange ones, white ones. Green ones, blue ones. Bumpy ones, smooth ones. So many to choose from!

Let’s harvest them and bring them to school for some book character fun! Follow the detailed directions below to participate in the October Pumpkin Character Challenge.

1. Select a book you have read or want to read.
2. Choose one character from the story to focus on.
3. Create this character using a pumpkin. Please be sure the pumpkin is small enough to carry to school. You may decorate it, glue things on it, carve it, or paint it! Be Creative!
4. You MUST complete the book report below or your October Pumpkin Character will NOT be accepted.
5. Deadline for the October Pumpkin Character Challenge is October 14th!

Every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, SoulPancake and Kid President want 2 million people to prove that even the smallest acts of love, like donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless.

Socktober was launched by Kid President creator Brad Montague four years ago. It’s a movement to get kids and grown-ups to help the homeless in an easy, fun way.

Last year, more than 10,000 schools, families, businesses, and churches rallied together to bring Socktober to life. People from every state and continent have taken part in Socktober! This year, William O. Schaefer is participating and we are having a “Sock Drive” the last week in October!

All of the socks we collect as a community will be donated to a local shelter.

H/T to Ms. Kolesar!
