Week 7 October 16

Thanks for the great conferences. Now that you have had a chance to reflect on the discussions
please let us know if there is anything else you need to discuss.


We will be dedicating much of our Social Studies/community time to the construction of Halloween Extravaganza. Tomorrow the kids will be deciding on what they want the room to look like. Be sure to ask them what they are doing for their part. It is important to remember that the kids need to create their project, not buy it from a store. We will find a way to build what they need. They may ask for some supplies from home, but please do not spend money on this. The look and feel is much more organic and satisfying if they create it on their own. If you are able to come to school next Friday morning please know that you are invited. The students will be presenting their room four times over the course of the morning as well as visiting the other rooms. This is well worth a visit. Remember it is the morning of Friday October 29. We will follow the event with a quick clean up and a classroom lunch.

To aid in the creation of the room we will be visiting Arts and Scraps on Wednesday morning as a class. We will be taking the bus from school along with Mary and Matresa's class returning to Roeper in time for lunch. This trip will help the students to collect recycled for their use. We will be keeping and organizing any left over items for future use.

We will continue with Math and spelling throughout the week, please remember that a spelling assessment will be held on Friday morning. Please also watch for a homework to come home tomorrow that is not math related. The second sign up begins tomorrow and new schedules will come home in backpacks.
