Hi! We had a busy week! We started our Sound/Light unit in Science. We talked about how vibrations make sound waves. We tried making some of our own sound effects to go with "rain storm". We finished our Unit 3 in Math and took the assessment. We made turkeys. We also started writing in our Thankful journals. The kids are doing a great job at remembering what they need to make a sentence. Conference reminder times went home today. If your's didn't make it, the office has the schedule or you can email me.

There will not be any UFLI homework next week. It's a short week so I am going to do a review of everything we've done so far this year.

WOW! What a week! Lots of exciting things happened! We went to The Grand to see The Headless Horseman. The Frogtown Puppeteers are hilarious! We celebrated the completion of our book series, The Pixie Tricks by Tracey West. It was kind of sad saying good-bye to it but we certainly had fun on Pixie Tricks Day! Sprite left us magic bags that had a Book of Tricks, purple, Queen Mab stone, pixie dust and even our own royal pixie tricker medal. We had Beastie Bites cereal and got Pixie Stix in the Guess Box. The best part was building fairy houses out behind the school. The kids did such a great job being creative and working together!

We put on a readers' theatre for PreK and Kindergarten. Ask your child which one s/he was in. After the play, we read them all of the books we have made so far in Grade One. These books will come home at Parent / Teacher Conferences.

The rain didn't put a damper on our Halloween activities! We moved our trick or treat math into the gym. We had a touchy - feely story called Poor Joe. We worked in teams to put Halloween sentences together. We danced and sang. We played Halloween Bingo. Thank you to the families that provided things to make our day special. It was lots of fun!
