Happy Halloween!

What a spook-tacular week we will be having!
Tuesday is our field trip to the Children's Museum. Please dress your child in a red-collared LaPaloma shirt if you have one, if not, blue is fine. They can wear jeans. Also, remember a lunch. Don't bring any money for the gift shop. We are not going in it. It is not too late to volunteer. Just let me know.
 Wednesday is a short day and we will be doing some Halloween math and watching "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." for fun.
 Thursday and Friday will be business as usual. Back to learning!
 Have a great Halloween!

P.S. Please make your Art Orders this week. They are due by the 1st of November.

Thanks for all of the candy!!! Harvest Fest was awesome!!

Skeletons

   We have been learning about the skeletal system this week. We read this very sweet book as an introduction. I didn't want any of the kids to be scared of the skeleton pictures we would be using in class. They loved the book, have them tell you about it.
   This week is Spirit Week. I had the kids write down the "dress" of the day for each. You should have it in their backpacks.
    Don't forget Harvest Fest is Friday night from 6:30-9:00pm. We need some volunteers to help with our duck pond if you are interested. Come by to help! Please keep sending in candy. Thanks so much to all of those that have already.
     We still need permission slips and money for field trip on the 30th. If you need help with payment please let me know. We have some class funds we could use. I don't want anyone left behind!
     Have a super week!

Candy is Dandy!

    Every once in a while, a little candy is dandy! That time is upon us.  Harvest Fest is coming soon and we need a lot of donations of candy for the prizes we will give away at our booth! Please bring in anything you can.
    This week we will begin our study of verbs, more apple fraction work and skeletons! Our class has been working hard on our Daily 5 activities. We read to self, someone, do word work, writing and listening in centers. It is going very well and so well in fact, that I find myself having to challenge the students even more! That's a good thing!
   Our field trip is on the 30th. Please send in permission slips and $4.50. I have 2 volunteers so far and could use some more!
   Have a super cool week!

Apples, Apples, Apples.....

    If you've been to the produce section in the grocery store, you must have noticed all of the apples! There are so many varieties this time of year. That's one of the million reasons that I love October! We will be using apples to learn about fractions and information graphs. We will learn about Johnny Appleseed and we will figure out what kind of apples we like the most! Should be an exciting week as we get started on our apple units! We will be as busy as ants. Have a great week!
