CTA Freedom : Fall Break

We only have a few of our kids here this week; most of our parents are using their vacation days to enjoy this weather with their families. But the kids we do have are having a blast.  We went to recess from 9:10-10:50a. A simple job of watering the evergrowing watermellon plant ( yes it is a wild one... in October) turned into a water fight. Kids grabbing umbrellas and water tables to make forts. Everyone got two turns and  the watermellon plant received plenty of water.
At lunch we did a twist on Spaghetti and Meatballs. We used Lasagna noodles in thirds and the kids rolled up their noodles.  They enjoyed it. Some kids put the meatbals inside the lasagna noodle and thought they created  'new food'.
