Halloween Festivities

Students celebrated Halloween all day long!  First, they created edible pumpkins using caramel-flavored rice cakes, M&Ms, raisins, and pretzels.  Students also created skeletons using noodles and macaroni.  LeAnn's mom helped students to create Spider Pops. Additionally, students made Halloween-inspired necklaces using yarn, beads, and paper pumpkins.  This was the perfect opportunity for them to showcase their patterning skills!  Last, but certainly not least, the students carved a pumpkin (thanks to Ms. Goins who is the supreme pumpkinista)!
