Jack-o-Lanterns, Spiders, and Bats...Oh My!

Last week we all voted on just exactly how our REACH jack-o-lantern would look. Everyone chose their favorite eyes, nose and mouth! Check out the final results!

The weather was perfect for starting their duck collection!

Halloween Non-Fiction
On Friday, we re-focused our REACH lessons on all things creepy...tarantulas and bats! Each REACH group spent some time exploring all the strange and unusual facts about these creatures! 

4th Grade: Tarantulas

We were amazed to learn that Tarantulas have hinged jaws and FANGS! We predicted their colors to be black and brown but after researching found them to actually come in all the colors of the rainbow...the pink and purple were our "favorite".

 3rd Grade: Bats

All eyes on our reading!!!

Despite the cold, rainy weather-these REACH readers are all smiles!!

It was definitely a ducky kind of day...

Bats wear clothes!!!??? Well, some bats have hair and fur. 

Bats with little or no fur are called, Naked Bats...who knew?!

 We've gone "batty" with our reading!

A long time tradition of mine...building a small rubber duck collection throughout the year..this time Halloween and Zombie ducks!!

2nd Grade: Bats

 During our study of Bats we learned a great, new word: Nocturnal! On this cold, rainy Halloween-we all want to be nocturnal-Sleep all day and hunt for CANDY at night!

Happy Halloween from the REACH Learners!
