Happy Tuesday!

We have been busy this week! We are starting a joint unit between our Reading and Social Studies books about the American Revolution. It should provide us with a really good circular view of the events that led up to the formation of the United States.

Yesterday we had fun working through an election section of the newspaper. Students worked in groups and then presented their page to the class. The school will hold a vote (school wide election) on Thursday, and the winner will be announced Tuesday.

We are really getting into fractions in Math. Ask your child to show you how they can describe fractions on a clock face! Tomorrow they will play "Rock Around the Clock" which is a game that lets them practice adding fractions!


Tony getting some GOOD news.... It was so good, he didn't make it to school today :-( We hope he is o.k.

Yesterday in the lifestyles section of the newspaper they had cut-out dolls for the candidates, and cut-out costumes! Students had a great time with this, we posted some on our board in the main hallway.

In Science we finished up sound energy, and now will focus on potential and kinetic.

Remember - Friday is our walk to Pizza Palace, and we would love to have you join us! We should get there about 11:00 if you want to meet us there, but you can always walk with us. We plan to leave school around 10:30ish.

Ask your student how their holiday story is going. These will be due in a few weeks!

We will be working more intently on our wax museum projects! You can assist your student with costumes, and their button. Today we talked about using those small round "press-on" lights that you can find at the dollar store.

We are off to a ROCKING second nine weeks! Report cards will come home on 11/14.
