October Fun at the J.H. Ranch

October was a fun month in the 1st Grade class!  We were able to share what we have been learning and doing with our parents during Parent-Teacher Conferences.  Each student told their parents what their strengths were and where they needed to work harder using Voice Thread.  (Students also had a 4-day weekend due to conferences!)  I really enjoyed meeting with the parents and was so happy to have 100% participation! 
October 30th was a busy day in our class as we attended Mrs. Hufford's 3rd grade plays, and were given a Hay Rack Ride to the Pumpkin Patch by the high school F.F.A.  We were able to pick out a pumpkin to bring back to our class.  We had a super time at both activities!
The students of my class had a different look on Halloween.  Instead of children I saw Spidermen, a raccoon, Army men, Cleopatria, George Washington, and others in my class!  We paraded around the school, then returned to our room for a fun Halloween party.  We played a game and had delicious snacks.  Thanks to all who helped and sent refreshments. 

It is exciting for me to see my students turning into Readers!  This past month we have been talking about what it means to be Responsible, and continue to learn our Addition facts.  Learning is fun!
