Be Sure to Visit our Bulletin Board

We are learning about McCain and Obama every morning on Beauclerc Broadcast.

We also pretended we had a $50,000.00 year salary, and boy were we surprised at what that COULDN'T Buy!!!

And see our great posters for the election. Beauclerc will participate in their own mock election!

Playing Catch-UP!

Is that Morgan from Room 138 at the Fall Festival at Southside UMC? I believe it is! And look at that ORANGE shirt, it matches all those PUMPKINS!

We had a great time with horses, rides, games, and FREE Snowcones, popcorn, and hotdogs!

Ms. Kornblum enjoying her day! Fifth grade teachers celebrated our beloved boss with Coffee Cards and good times!

Ms. Harris's 5th grade bulletin board for our book of the month.

What in the world could we use these three jars for? Just wait and see! It will "Amaze" you!

We have found that our students are struggling with the strategy "Go back and look". It seems they get frustrated quite easily if the answer is just not "right there".

Klaudia, Angel, Zelma, and Lakia are working on this skill at Reading Centers.

Everyone is practicing the skill during SS's essay questions!

Calvin and Jordan are doing a great job using their books to locate the correct answers. They had to provide support and details from the book!

Dalton is focused and working!

Boris and Tony working on SS questions!

It has been a busy, but short, weekend around here! It seems this time of year activities really start to heat up! There is always one Fall Festival after another, and we always bump into at least one person from our Beauclerc family! Enjoy the pictures!

Energy Scavenger Hunt

This was quite fun! Can't wait to see what you find!

No Pictures today... Can you believe it?

Students did great today taking their energy pre-test! After we finished the test they cut out pictures of all the different kinds of energy they could locate in the sale papers. We identified six types of energy. Ask your student if they can tell you the six types and then give you some examples of each. They quickly recognized that different things (light bulbs, candles, power tools, cars) could be in multiple categories.

We are still collecting Pringle cans. We will use these in the very near future!

The Math night is the 23rd if you are interested in participating.

Please make sure your student has lunch money, and let them know if they are able to buy snacks. This year the cafeteria is selling chips, drinks, and other items for $ .60 - $1.00. If students buy extra this may cut into their prepaid accounts. I believe that you can go on-line and adjust their account to not allow this option, or you can stop by the cafeteria.

The Spelling test is Friday, make sure students understand compound words and how they look (hyphen, two words, or one word).

***** There is school MONDAY, the planning day has been moved to FRIDAY. This was changed because of make-up hurricane days!

It is Finally OPEN... and to CELEBRATE

We will be walking to Pizza Palace on Friday, October 31st! We will eat lunch and then return to school. Permission slips will come home this week. If you would like to join us, we would love for you to walk with us, or if you rather, you can meet us there!
We look forward to celebrating a new (YUMMY!) business in our community!

Don't forget to send in your $3.00 for your Live Museum Backboard. All money needs to be in by next Thursday.
