This week we got together with our 5th grade reading buddies. We had a great time reading and discussing the books. We will get together once a month to read with the same buddy. Ask your child if he/she remembers his/her buddy's name. The photos below show our class with their buddies.

| Happy Fall! This is what our door looks like now. |

| We measured ingredients for Kool-Aid Play-doh and we each got a chance to knead the dough and take it home. A few students asked for the recipe so here it is: 2 c. flour, 1 c. salt, 4 tsp. cream of tartar, 1 envelope Kool-Aid, 2 c. water, 2 T oil. Mix everything together and microwave on high for 4 min., stirring every 40 seconds. Cool, and then knead into a ball- you may need to sprinkle with flour. |
This week we also attended a presentation by Kathy Gust about internet safety. If you would like to view the website go to netsmartzkids.org
In Math we worked on arrays. We learned that rows are horizontal and columns are vertical. It's exciting to think that repeated addition (3+3+3+3=12) is the first step to multiplication!
In Grammar we learned about nouns and commas in a series. Our Fun Friday centers were great! We rolled dice to add the numbers together, made our Halloween treat bags, completed rhyming and antonym puzzles, and put story pictures in a sequence.
Our 2 Studies Weekly Magazines told us about historical figures and Technology in the classroom. We enjoyed a full week of work!
Please remember to put a name on any lunch money sent to school.
Our Halloween party will be next Friday, the 31st. Students should wear their costumes but leave any props at home. Room Moms will be calling for people to bring a snack and drink. If you would like to send small, wrapped treats for our trick-or-treating bags, they would be welcomed. The party is from 2-2:30. Parents are welcome to come if they would like to.
