Fall Fun

Cherokee Stickball Game

We learned about the Cherokee game of Stickball, connecting history and culture to our studies after reading out Open Court story. Students created their own mini stickball crafts, linking reading with hands-on creativity.

This activity sparked great conversations about teamwork, traditions, and how games can tell us about different cultures.

Our class had a blast celebrating Book Character Day! Students came dressed as their favorite characters, showing off their creativity and love for reading. From magical heroes to silly storybook stars, it was a joyful parade of imagination.

We also joined the middle school for Trick or Treat the Trail, where students wolked through a festive path filled with treats, decorations, and friendly faces. It was a wonderful way to build community across grade levels.

To top it all off, we stirred up some spooky fun by making Witch's Brew-a hands-on activity that blended sensory play, sequencing, and a dash of Halloween magic. The giggles and excitement

were contagious!
