Well, Friday was a HUGE day at Denton Creek. First of all, the PTO provided the teachers and staff with a little treat to start their days out on the right foot. We REALLY appreciate our DCE teachers and staff and hope they enjoyed their treat. A huge thank you to Tiffany Ching for making the precious pretzels.
After the teachers receieved their treats, we had the annual Storybook Character Parade. It was really cute. The teachers dressed up as characters in Alice in Wonderland. The kids looked darling and seemed to have a great time parading through the halls. For the first time, my 5th grader chose to watch instead of parade. Made me a bit sad.... Luckily, my little fighter, Colton paraded. Thanks to D'Amico for giving up his seat for me so I could take this video and these pictures for those of you who couldn't attend. Hope you enjoy.
Another big event of the day was pumpkin math. The 5th graders brought pumpkins to school and buddied up with the second graders for a bit of pumpkin math. The 2nd graders were weighed while holding the pumpkins and then again without the pumpkins. The kids subtracted to determine the weight of the pumpkins. They then worked together to scoop out all the gross insides and count the seeds and use their senses to check out their pumpkin. After the hands were all washed the kiddos got to enjoy a snack with their second grade buddies. I think everyone had a blast. Here are some pics that I took. Thanks to all the 5th grade parents who came and helped cut pumpkin tops and work the event. Thanks to the second grade parents who sent in snacks.
