What a joy it is to be outside and enjoy the beautiful warm weather of.... October! What October??? It's suppose to be cool and crisp because its fall!! Our Unit 1 Week 5 selection is My Rows and Piles of Coins by Tololwa M. Mollel with our weekly question "What do we need to know about saving and spending?" We are looking forward to the Fall Festival, Friday October 15 from 6:00-9:30. There's still time to send in Pez candy and Play Doh. Each will be counted toward our class total.

Old School/New School

I was not able to come and watch the first couple of hours of the school being torn down. When I arrived (lunch break for the workers!!) I had a sad :( yet excited feeling :) Sad that many memories were made in the school yet excited to make new memories in the fabulous new and exciting school!!! I hope we get into our classrooms soon because I have 87 boxes to unpack!! Yikes!!! Keep reading!!!

Enjoy your summer!

I hope you are enjoying your summer. I drove with my girlfriend to Cashiers, North Carolina and then to Orlando, Florida. While in North Carolina, A BLACK BEAR WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!! I grabbed my camera but by the time I took the picture the bear was in the woods. I will leave soon and spend a week at our cottage to read and relax. Don't you forget to read this summer. See you in September!!

Counting Down Until Spring Break

We'll be busy, busy to get things cleared up before Spring Break. We have a Science test, Simple Machines/Force/Motion, on Friday. A studyguide was sent home Monday so students can begin studying. Each day more information will be sent home to help with studying. The "Rube Goldberg" simple task drawings are soooooo GREAT!!! I love looking at each and everyone of them. Some great ideas!!! Math will be wrapped up next week with a Unit 11 test on Tuesday. Don't forget the Homework Bag is due Friday along with Unit 4 Spelling test. Keep reading!!!

Unit 3 Wrap Out & Wrap Up

This week will be devoted to activities that will complete our Unit 3 Reading Street theme "How people and nature are connected." Students will be making brochures to compare and contrast features in nature or write a letter from an animal or nature to someone. We will be working in small groups to cooperate and make a volcano. Our plan is to have our volcanoes erupt on Friday!! Hopefully our Kindergarten Reading Buddies will join us to watch our volcanoes blow!! Our Unit 8 Math test is scheduled for Thursday. Science will be devoted to motion, force and simple machines. We LOVE the warm weather that allows us to play in nature.
