And the Oscar Goes to.......

Today we practiced reading with expression with a Thanksgiving themed reader's theatre. This play was a variation of A Christmas Carol. The class read with a lot of expression!  We also had a great November CLC assembly. We even had a visit from the Lindbergh Flyerettes!

Blue Ribbon Day!

We ended our Blue Ribbon week of celebration with these cute shirts, a movie with principals, and a read-a-thon. Mrs. Thomas came by today to give us these exercise balls to use as chairs in our room and everyone is excited!  It was a fun day!

Does McDonald's Serve CheeseBurgers?

Today we started long division. We are using the phrase "Does McDonald's Serve CheeseBurgers" to help remember the steps. 1.  Divide, 2.  Multiply, 3.  Subtract, 4.  Compare, 5.  Bring down.

The class enjoyed learning long division, and we will continue to practice this next week. There is no math homework tonight. 

We also had a visit from Mrs. Hausner. She came and taught us about Plymouth Rock and did a cause and effect lesson with the class. 

Virtual Mineral Lab

We are studying minerals in science. Today we started an online lab looking at the properties of minerals. Students looked for luster, cleavage, color, streak color, and hardness. Based on their observations they tried to determine each mineral. 

Students also looked great in all their blue today. Tomorrow is pajamas or comfy clothes. 

Adopt a Family update- we have 180 items!  Whoo hoo!

Hats Off to Concord!
