Happy Halloween! Time to link up with
Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday! We have had a crazy busy fun filled week! Lots of history and lots of candy make for an exhausting week!
My week started with a field trip for the Earth Science STEM class I am taking. We all met at the Churchill County Museum in Fallon, NV (which we toured a bit before leaving) and then headed to a place called The Hidden Caves which were used by Native Americans. It is the site of several archaeological digs, and they have opened it up to the public. Here are a few pics from our visit:
Monday, I took my own class on a field trip to City Hall as part of our social studies curriculum. They were able to meet and greet with the mayor and then take a tour of the building. They had a ton of questions for our mayor! They were also able to see voting in action as we are currently in the middle of early elections.
They were so surprised to see their teacher's picture on the wall (I am on the city council).
They even got bags of goodies! They were filled with pencils, city pins, Nevada pins, along with candy and glow sticks.
We received dictionaries from the Rotary Club this week and they were so excited to each have their own! They also noticed that there were resources in the dictionary such as a map of the United States, common conversions, and even a multiplication chart. They were quite amazed by the longest word in the English language and were extremely thankful that I would not be putting it on our spelling test this week!
In Nevada, we celebrate Nevada Day on October 31st, so we actually have today off! Yesterday we participated in a record breaking attempt at the most people singing Home Means Nevada as part of our state's 150th birthday celebration.
We also learned about the Pony Express - complete with a reenactment! Photo creds to one of my third grade team members.
And since we have today off.. we celebrated with our Halloween party yesterday.
Be sure to
link up and share your week as well!
