Language Arts:
We have been reading plays in class in preparation for the Unit 2 theme project.  The plays do not need to be long so please keep it simple!  Think of it a a conversation and the writing component of the assignment is capturing the dialogue of each character.

Health:
Room 9 will enjoy a healthy breakfast on Friday, October 25 at 8:30 AM to culminate our unit Health Choices, Healthy Me.  A letter will go home on Monday for parents to donate food item as well as to set up and serve.

Math:
We are reviewing place value in two-digit and three-digit numbers, telling time and writing time in "digital clock" notation, and reviewing coin value and exchange among coins.  For a fun, online money game try, http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/games/peterpigs/

Art in Class:

We took a nature hike around our campus and gathered fallen leaves, bark, twigs and mini pine cones.  The idea was taking from Family Fun magazine.  Visit familyfunmag.com for more ideas.

Have a great weekend!

Friendship Unit One Wrap Up


Each child gave their report on their family member who they also considered to be a good friend.  Great job done by all!  Many students went above and beyond by including a poster with drawings/photos of their family member, clay art, and regalia.  All posters/art are on display in the classroom.  Keep up the good work!
