We had a blast at the Homecoming assembly on Friday. We are getting ready for our Fall Festival on Friday. A quick reminder to have your child wear their costume, and bring a change of comfy clothes to change into, after the parade. I will not be sending home reading folders this week. Happy Halloween! The robust vocabulary words for this week are: claimed, function, nutritious, classify, dine, groaned. I hope to see everyone on Friday...don't forget to look at our spooky hall.

Mrs. Peck came and taught us about our eyes. She brought these really cool cow eyes to dissect and leave in our classroom. Our focus in science this week will be our five senses with an emphasis on sight. Our human body unit will finish up in November. A few reminders this week: book orders are due by Friday Oct. 22nd, robust vocabulary words: envy, resent, applauded, chatty, gather and duty. There will be no book orders sent in Nov. or Dec. due to the school's annual book fair. I would also like to welcome a new student to our class beginning in November. Her name is Lucille Breton, and she will be coming to the United States from France. The children are very excited to welcome her. Please enjoy her picture at the top.

Happy Monday and here we are dissecting the heart. Please ask your child why their blood is red. Go Rays! They can wear Rays shirts to school on Tuesday. Here are the robust vocabulary words for this week: chorus, odor, enthusiastic, consume, shoved, assemble. If you have not completed the survey yet, please do so. I sent home new book orders today, and they are due by October 22nd. The spelling test this week will be on Thursday. Have a great week!

What a great start to our week! Mrs. Peck from the upper division came down to dissect sheep brains with the first graders. She is the anatomy teacher for the seniors. We have the sheep brain in our class, so the students will be able to do more investigating. The robust vocabulary words for Spelling City are: commotion, muffle, overflowing, locate, search, symbol.
I would like the students to practice recognizing odd/even numbers. They should be able to recognize whether the number is odd or even, with any two or even three digit number. Please have them isolate the ones number first then decide whether the number is odd or even. They can even determine coin values as odd or even. Thank-you for your support!
