Classroom News

What an interesting start to the week!  Students were excited to share stories from the wind storm!  I hope that everyone has power or gets it back very soon!


Today, we had our first all-school celebration since we filled our school PBIS “tree”.  Ask your child what activity they participated in.  Also, a big thanks to Joseph and his family for sharing a delicious popcorn treat for snack this morning!


During our literacy times, we read an interesting Scholastic News article about animals that sound scary, such as the ghost bat and the skeletorus spider.  We learned lots of new information about these animals, which helped us form our own opinions about whether or not they are really frightening.  This article will come home in the next Friday folder.  It would be great if students can reread this article at home and share their facts and opinions about these creepy creatures with you!


Tomorrow, we are planning to go outside for an ECO mapping lesson.  Please help your child come prepared to spend part of the morning outside.  Students should have a jacket or coat, outdoor shoes, and warm layers. They may also want to bring a hat and gloves so they stay warm.  


Please let me know at conferences if you are interested in helping out with future ECO lessons.  These lessons will usually take place on Wednesday mornings or Thursday afternoons, but this may vary depending on weather.


Also, please help your child keep their Halloween candy at home.  This helps everyone stay healthy and focused during the school day.  Thanks!
