Alrighty!  Finally have a minute to update our blog.  This is conference week...if you didn't have a conference scheduled in October, I've sent home a note for parents to fill out.  Please send it back as soon as possible, and I'll get back to you with a time!
We also will be taking  a Terra Nova test next week.  This test is to screen for gifted and talented scores.  No worries...no pressure!!  I'll get them ready to do their best work.
Our pumpkin projects turned out absolutely AWESOME!!  As soon as we get our character writing done, we will be sharing our projects with the class.  They are proudly displayed in our hall, and have gotten so many compliments on them!  Check out our pictures on our Facebook page, Room 17.
Our science/reading focus will be on animal life cycles for the next week or so.  We will be using our reading strategies to learn more and dig deeper!  We will be making a power point slide show, with the help and guidance from Mrs. Lisath.  We are choosing an interesting animal that we want to learn more about...stay tuned!!
Math finds us continuing to explore multiplication and will be moving into division soon!  PLEASE continue to practice those facts...it makes things so much easier when the kiddos are fluent with them!
Thanks for being a partner in your child's education!
