Harvest Celebration!

Welcome to November!  I love the chillier weather!  October was a great month full of lots of new learning!  To celebrate, we had a Harvest Celebration in class on Friday.  All month long, the children had the opportunity to earn guesses at the candy in my candy jar which was full of chocolate golden coins.  There were many ways that students could earn a guess. A few examples were they could bring in their homework, use their listening ears, take pride in their work, say "please" and "thank you", and be respectful with our classroom materials.  By the end of October, we had over 215 guesses in our box!!  At the end of our harvest celebration we counted the candy and had exactly 200 coins! We had a three way tie with Bridget, Griffin, and Megan all guessing the exact number!  We a great time that led into a very exciting weekend!  What do you think I should put in my guessing jar for November?

We have started to count the coins!

Watching with rapt attention

We are getting so close to an answer!

Success!!! We have a winner! In this case, we actually had 3 winners!

This activity created a lot of excitment, suspense, and fun!
