Great Guest Speaker

Today we were fortunate to have Mr. Chase, a Math & Science teacher from Castle Rock come to us to share his knowledge and wonderful pics of the many historic places in Washington D.C. We learned so many new things like if you are a guest of the president you would get to stay in the Blair House or that there are snipers on the roof of the White House. We wish he could have stayed longer but we were rushing out the door at 3:15. Thank you Mr. Chase. Students are to be writing about this in their nightly writing.

We are finishing up Chapter 2 in Math and will have a test at the end of the week. Make sure you are practicing the skip counting sheets that are coming home. The 2, 3, 5, 9's are coming home on Tuesday.

Colder weather: As you can see, the colder weather is arriving. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. Long pants, long sleeves, coats, gloves, and hats are much needed.

Continue studying those NE states & capitals. Test will be next week.

In my reading class, we started a book called "Owls in the Family". It is a great story and we will be learning 10 new story elements to go with it. We will keep you posted.

Also, in our reading we are finishing up our Naya Nuki Essays. WOW these kids are getting to be fabulous writers. Keep up the great work.

Have a great night and stay warm.
