Happy Halloween!

 Hello Families!

We had a fun day celebrating Halloween and engaged in a variety of holiday themed tasks over the week! The students were so very excited to share their costumes and their plans for the weekend! Students created haunted houses using shapes, graphed the shapes and then answered data related questions.  We also began painting monsters/creatures by using a "blowing paint" technique.  In Math,  we read "There was on Old Lady who Swallowed a Bat" and then the students created their own "growing pattern math story" by drawing a variety of other spooky creatures the old lady could swallow following a specific pattern rule.

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!  I look forward to seeing the students on Monday!

Hello Families!

It is hard to believe that we are closing in on the end of October!  We are looking forward to our Halloween dress up next week.  Students will be able to celebrate by wearing a costume on Friday October 29th.  Please ensure your child is wearing an age appropriate costume.  No weapons, masks or costumes that portray violence please.  We are also planning a community walk sometime next week, so please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.
