| It's Aloha Friday!!! |
Preparing for our field trip.....
The girls came up with a list of seasonal vegetables they wanted to put into their Harvest soup. Their ingredients included chard, potatoes, corn, carrots, beets and more. They then cut out images of their crops and sorted them based on what part of the plant their crop came from. The final step in their sorting process was labeling their pictures.
The Process....
The girls rode the bus down to the Ferry Building, had a snack in the park then headed to the Ferry Building for a presentation by Julie Cummings from CUESA. They then broke into groups to purchase their harvest soup vegetables and complete a Farmer's Market Bingo activity that encouraged the girls to interview the famers and learn more about the seasonal crops and where/when they were harvested.

| Our GingerBuddy Caught in Action! |
Our Gingerbuddy has been keeping us busy this past week! We chased him/her to rooms and offices some of the girls had never seen. Did you know that Ms. Bellingraths office has a secret room? We learned the Ms. Randall and the Gingerbread Buddy danced together, that he/she likes to eat Gingerbread and that he/she played with the doll house in HUB! On Wednesday he ate our ENTIRE Gingerbread house so the girls wrote him some letters asking him questions such as "Are you having fun on your adventures?" -D.B. and telling him things "I missing you!" -M.S.

Ms. Hancock visited our class and introduced us to a variety of learning tools. She spoke to the girls about their engines and how to identify with how their personal engines are running. They then got to rotate through different stations to try our different learning tools and think about whether or not they made their engines run better. Some girls reported that sitting on the wiggle cushions made their stomachs hurt, while others reported it was like sitting on a soft cloud. Later in the week, during a loud classroom work period, one of the girls requested the earphones to focus.

In Math the girls learned a new game called Butterfly Count & Compare. The game is similar to the card game WAR, but the girls compare butterflies arranged on a 10-frame and use a spinner to determine which girl keeps the cards.
As of Friday we will have completed our 68th day of school together and survived our first field trip. It has been a wonderful fall semester and I am so excited and thankful for the year ahead. A special thank you to Thayer, Laure, Lanier, Molly and Mahika for their assistance and guidance on our trip today. Thank you to all of the parents who visited us along the way! It was great to see you and the girls so happy and excited to be together! Enjoy your final weekend before the break!!
