HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

The students had sooooooo much fun at the Halloween party yesterday!

After the school wide parade, we headed back to the classroom for "Minute to Win It". The students participated in 3 different tasks.

Smartie Suck-Up
Students had one minute to suck up as many Smarties as they could, using a straw.

Ghost Poop Pick-Up
Students had one minute to pick up marshmallows using chopsticks. We had some students who were awesome at using chopsticks.

Rocket Towers
Students used rocket candies to build towers...steady hands!!!

Thank you to all of the parents who brought food for our party!

After enjoying the delicious food, students had the option of playing games with their friends or carving a pumpkin.

This week in Math we continued working on place value, using base ten blocks. Our class has been practicing skip counting by 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s, while playing the game BUZZ.

Students were able to choose from a variety of Word Work activities to practice their Spelling words. Work Work is part of the Daily 5 program. 

In Science, we learned about the different layers which make up the Earth. Throughout the Rocks and Minerals unit, student have been working in a Lapbook. These Lapbooks allow the students to add new information as it is learned in class. Your child will be able to show you this ongoing project when you join us for Parent Teacher Interviews next week. 

At the beginning of this week, students wrote letters to children in India. A family member left for India on Tuesday morning and took our letters with him. He is going to try to deliver these letters to a special school in India that has been receiving some assistance from our country through an organization called "Helping Hands for India". He is also going to try to keep in contact with us, sending us updates and pictures from his trip. 

We made Passports this week so that we are able to "fly" to different countries this year. The students had a very hard time taking a Passport picture without smiling. ;) 

Congratulations to our new Student of the Week!
