October 12th

Welcome to another fun filled week! We start Food is Elementary today. If you have not returned your child's permission slip, they are unable to participate until that is returned. We are still needing $8 for serveral students. If you have not sent in $8 for your students, please do so as soon as possible. We need home support to sustain this very educational, interesting program.

The spelling paragraph this week is:
Amazing Buzzing Bees
Bees are small, flying insects. Their homes, or habitats, are buzzing, busy hives. Their bodies have different parts like two honey baskets, a proboscis, and a fierce stinger. Worker bees, drones, and a queen all reside in the hive. Bees are truly interesting bugs!

We begin our new reading unit - Animal Habitats. If you have any habitats or animal mounts you would let us borrow, we would love to have real items to view.

We finish unit 2 in math -adding 3 digit numbers - on Tuesday. Wednesday we will be starting subtracting with regrouping.

Your child may have told you I broke my foot. Yes this is true.

Weekly Reporter is Parker:
This week I did many things. One example is I took AR tests on the computer. I have 13.3. My goal is 30.0 points. I am 44.3% there! Another example is my teacher is reading to us Charlotte's Web. Charlotte just wrote "Some Pig" in her web above the pig pen. Finally I measured my plants for science and drew a picture of our plant. As you can see I had a great week!
