Great Day today!! We have pretty much finished our final project for the whole class book we read.  A couple people are finishing their characterization activity.  They did a great job with these and they are on display in the hallway.

 We started our new Book Club books today in my reading class.  The students have previewed them and are excited to read them as they have been enticed by what they found out by the skim & scan strategy for predicting.  We have learned many strategies while we did the whole group book previous to this one and now I will be more of a facilitator as they have their own discussions.  I so love this as they have some good talks and ideas to share about what they read.

Math-chapter 2 is going well.  Keep refreshing your brains by practicing those facts.

In Science, we have begun our unit on beavers and beaver dams.  We watched a great YouTube and gathered facts, and now they are illustrating a beaver dam for their nightly writing.  We are actually going to try and build one together as a class.  More on that to come at a later date.

We are starting to prepare for Drug Free Week which is Oct. 25-29.  We are going to be doing a lot that week from guest speakers, our field trip, videos, youtubes, etc. to help your child understand the importance of Making Good Choices now at this young age.

Have a great night.
