 The White Oak Bright Spots and other students had a great time celebrating the Halloween Season decorating their pumpkins! A special thanks to all the parents who bought pumpkins, helped decorate, and clean up our mess. We really had fun and appreciate all you do to ensure that our kids have the best experiences possible. |

Challenge week 7 Favorite Holiday/Vacation
I love the beach. If I could take a vacation during the holidays, you would find me sitting on the beach with a great novel reading while listening to the ocean waves break along the seashore. I can almost hear those waves and seagulls now. Guess I will just have to dream about it for now. Maybe I will be able to head to one of those beautiful white, sandy beaches soon.
What is your favorite holiday or vacation that you have already been on? Why is it a favorite?
Remember to tell your readers answers to questions beginning with who, where, when, what, how, why.
Include some links so your reader can visit the place you went to or want to go to. Try to find some images of the holiday or vacation place.
We have heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. If this picture could talk, what would it be saying?
This week, I would like for you to write a caption for this picture. Why is this broom standing alone in the kitchen? Tell me your thoughts on this photo.
Then I would like for you to locate and post a picture that speaks volumes to you. This picture may be one you come across in a book, magazine, or on the interenet. It might even be a photograph that you have taken yourself. I can’t wait to see what you find and post!
This week I would like to share another blog by one of the Bright Spot kids. Joe has a great site called, Joe’s Great Games. In this post, he shares thoughts about some of the Play Station games that he plays. He also recently posted a new picture of his pet. Go check out his site. You might be surprised! Great job, Joe. Keep on blogging!
With Halloween just a couple of weeks away, I thought it would be a great time to have a little Halloween fun. Here are a few sites to visit for the season. Enjoy!
Ghost Blaster Subtraction
Here is your chance to get really creative. Buy a small pumpkin about the size of an apple and decorate it like your favorite character. The crazier the better. This is your chance to punk out your pumpkins. When you have your pumpkin decorated, bring it to school and we will take pictures for our Punked Out Pumpkin Parade on Friday, October 30. ✹Be sure to leave a comment to let us know what you think of our Halloween activities!
A word of congratulations goes to Tyler. His blog has been listed on Miss T’s blog as a great site to visit. Tyler, I am so proud of you and your work!
Over the weekend, one of our Bright Spots classmates attended Le Tourneau University’s Lego Robotic Workshop. Be sure to visit his blog and check it out! He is listed under our student blogs, or you can go to http://tsmith.wonecks.net/ Way to go, Tyler! It must have been a great day for you.
This week we added a translator to our blog as directed by Miss Wyatt for the blog challenge. Our class is having a great time learning about blogging and adding widgets to our blog as well.
