Happy Halloween








What a great day we had today. As you can see by the pics we had lots of fun, but still kept it academic based. I think the favorite 2 things were the dry ice activity and the candy graphing in math. They had so much fun partnering with Ms. Erickson's Class doing the dry ice and the trick or treating story told by Jerry Seinfeld. It is a hoot. They had a good discussion about the properties of dry ice. We also talked about the words greedy and rude and how they may not always like the treats they get, but to be kind anyway and especially to the elderly.
In Math, we learned about pictographs and then each student made their own graphing the amount of M & M's they got in their bag.
Thank you to Karissa for the yummy treats.
We are saddened today as Dezzee is moving to a new school. We sure hope you keep in touch and come by to visit. We will miss you.
Report cards went home today. You can keep everything inside, but please return the envelope for free money tomorrow.
Perfect Attendance for 1st quarter goes to: Brayden, Darian, Gabe, Jeremiah, Ilyssa, Staley, Melissa, Jasmyn, and Nathaniel. Let's see if we can get more of you next quarter.
Parent Teacher Conferences start tomorrow and I am looking forward to visiting with Staley, Jaeden, and Grayson's parents.

There is some homework out there tonight as some students didn't finish all our activities and they all have the one tonight to transfer the Halloween foam cut-out into something creating a creative, detailed picture. The pictures don't have to be Halloweenish at all when finished, but they may. I can't wait to see all the 4th grade, creative quality. Remember they have to be colored. We will do more with them here at school.
Have a safe night trick-or-treating and I hope you don't have too much sugar in your bellies tomorrow morning.
