October 26 - 30

A snow day, 2 late starts, and Halloween! What a crazy week it has been!

In Writing, the Eagles were challenged to create a Spooky Story.  Some of them may have a career in writing spooky stories! Ask your Eagle to share his or her story with you! 

We have loved watching the Eagles grow in confidence and excitement in writing! 

Thursday, a younger Eagle reminded an older one that one sentence is not a story.  Together as a group, the Eagles helped that learner come up with ideas to add to the story.  What a beautiful moment of bravery for the younger eagle and learning for the older! 

For our E-Ship Quest, the Eagles were challenged to create 50 sandwiches for a costumer.  They were split into 2 teams and battled against one another to create the best quality sandwiches. Their quality standards included having ham, cheese and mayo on each sandwich, even bread slices, ham and inside the bread, and bread that was not soggy.   The winning team produced the most quality sandwiches; showing the importance of working together and producing high quality work.  

 

On Tuesday, we spent PE time in the auditorium, where the Eagles were able to run and play.  They played Four Square and Tail Tag.  I think they ran for a solid 45 minutes straight! 

In art, the Eagles worked on some Halloween creations, making toilet paper monsters. It's amazing what these learners can create with a few simple supplies. 

The Eagles have been challenged with a new game: to follow the Rules Of Engagement to participate in a Mystery Friday Celebration.  This week, the Eagles had to meet their goal of 3 or less marks for breaking the ROEs!  We celebrated their hard work by making slime!! 

Next week, the Eagles will be challenged with only 2 marks to earn the Celebration. 

Friday, we ended the week with a Halloween Celebration.  Every Eagle came dressed for the occasion and we ended the day with festivities!  We had a candy scavenger hunt, wrapped mummies, played corn hole and enjoyed lots of time in the snow! 

    

We love our Acton Eagles!
