Week 10

False Face Masks for First Friday (say that five times fast)!
Our thanks to Mrs. Treinen for leading the workshop on this Native American artifact. We also appreciate all the parents who came by to support our learning.

Here's what to expect for next week:

  • Tuesday will be a non attendance day for students due to Election Day and staff development. 
  • Schools will also be closed on Friday due to Veterans Day.
  • We are beginning the next reading unit on Nonfiction Texts. This unit will focus on expository texts, which are the informational books that focus on a subject and its many subtopics during the two weeks. Then we will switch to narrative non fiction, which includes biographies. The purpose of this unit is to develop our reading skills in order to learn about a subject. 
  • Please continue to support our Penny Harvest! Dollars, nickels, dimes and quarters are welcomed, too!
  • Finally, this week's poll asked for another name for 340,167. The answer was in the expanded form of 300,000+ 40,000+ 100+ 60+ 7, which was chosen by everyone. Great job, everyone!
Have a great weekend!
