Fall

I absolutely love fall!  I am so happy it is here...kind of.  We had the most amazing weather this week.  Until this afternoon.  It was hot again.  But, I know it won't be much longer until we have some nice cool weather full time :)
To welcome in the fall weather, I had my first salted caramel mocha frappuchino at Starbucks on Sunday.  DELISH!  I also wore my new boots to work 2 days this week! 

I got them at Nordy's....of course.  Also in honor of fall/Halloween, I decorated our apartment.  This isn't much at this point, but we do have some very cute pumpkins on our dining room table and some candy corn in a glass pumpkin dish :)  I bought a few more things at Hobby Lobby last weekend.  I will put up some pics when they are ready!
And lastly, my class and I have done some very cute fall projects the last couple of weeks.  Here are a few pics of their hard work!

The scarecrow faces they made using a hanger and tissue paper.  I love these so much.  They turn out super cute!

 A pumpkin project they took home and decorated with their families.  They also wrote either a made up story about their pumpkin or what they used to decorate it.

 The sign I made to go with the pumpkins :)

 Their spiders!  I love these!  Paint and handprints for the bodies, reinforcements for the eyes.  They wrote a poem about spiders using action words and describing words we had brainstormed together.  I think they turned out awesome and the kids LOVED making them.

 We turned the class into a "bat cave"!  We read Stellaluna and the kids had to write all the characters from the story to put on their bat.

So there you have it.  The kids are keeping me on my toes this year, but I really love this group already.  They are all so sweet and fun to be around :)
