| Hope you had a Happy Halloween! |
Thank you to all the parents who helped us have a fun Halloween Party! The week was filled with…. surveying who likes pumpkin pie, Halloween crafts (all related to a reading or writing activity, of course :), seeing a "pumpkin tree" - that's actually a live tree!, writing our own how-to books, researching kinds of apples and extreme weather and researching more U.S. symbols! We also have practiced a lot on telling time to the half-hour. One of our favorite activities to practice this skill is the app "Jungle Time". We are only on Level 2, but it gets harder!

| Voting for Favorite Apples |
This week we are focusing on Main Idea and Details in our reading stories. We are also continuing our research on U.S. Symbols, with a focus this week on the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell. We learned all about the voting process on Tuesday and ran a mock election for our favorite kind of apples. The 1-3 Kids overwhelmingly liked Granny Smith best! This week also brings some end of the trimester skills checks… a sight word review test, a timed writing assessment and a science experiment with pennies and vinegar (to see why the Statue of Liberty, also made of copper, has turned green!). Our Unit 3 math test will be in a couple of weeks. We keep busy at school! Here are some pics from last week.. enjoy!
