Pumpkin Day was a lot of fun! Thank you to Mrs. South and Mrs. Fiebig for volunteering. We had five stations that children visited throughout the day. Science, Social Studies, Math, Reading, and Writing. Children worked in groups to measure the weight, circumference, and volume of their pumpkin, they found out interesting facts about the first pumpkin, and observed their pumpkin using hand lenses. Pictures to follow!
This week starts the first week of Quarter 2. Remember to aim high for your 10 AR points (20 if you want to come to the pizza party), record your reading in your reading log, practice your math facts, and learn something new everyday! We'll continue our studies of measurement in math, motion and forces in science, and even start a new novel study this month.
Book It for October is due October 28... I can't wait to see everyone's wonderful projects.
Also, Bradley is leaving our classroom. We'll miss him a lot and wish him lots of luck in his new school!!!

From Kristen and Adam
Hi my name is Kristen and this is my friend Adam and we've done lots of cool stuff in school.
First, we would like to tell you about our meal worms. We got them on the day we had the Chinese feast, isn't that great? We also just let our butterflies go. They were Painted Ladies!
We also had an art teacher come. We made quilts with geometric shapes and our own free form shapes. They all looked awesome and some of them are in the hallway hanging up.
Also Mrs.Van Fossen showed us the site study island and it's really fun. Plus everyone's doing great on study island! Although it helps us learn a lot, we still have fun. You should go on studyisland.com so you can have fun to!!
We've been doing lots of cool experiments with Mrs.Van Fossen. For one we did an experiment with GRAVITY!!! Science is so much fun!
In Social Studies we have been talking about citizenship. Mrs. Domizi has been teaching us a lot about citizenship and it's really fun. Next week we'll be talking about the election. Isn't that great?
We just finished reading the book CRICKET IN TIMES SQUARE by George Shelden. We each did a project on Cricket in Times Square. They were all great!! You should read the book it's really great.
We also had a magic assembly that involved reading. it was awesome!! The man who was doing it did really good tricks. Like this one trick a bowling ball come out of his notebook!!!
We will write back later!!

Hello from Catharine and Carmen
Hello! This is Catharine & Carmen and this is our school blog! We are starting to learn about gravity. Today we learned about motion, force, friction, and our main subject this week, GRAVITY! In music, we are learning,The Nutcracker. So, we sighed up yesterday and today.
Yesterday, we got our school jobs! I, Carmen got my job the sticker person! And I, Catharine got teacher helper! Guess how many tickets we have! Go ahead guess! Ok we'll tell you, Carmen has 941 and Catharine has 145 tickets.
Today in math, we are starting measurements. They are really fun. A couple weeks ago we had baby caterpillars and about 18 days later they turned into really pretty butterflies ( painted ladies.) At first we thought they were poisonous butterflies. It was so funny! and we watched Bill Nye the Science guy, we also study history. Last week and the week before we had surprise guests for Stump the Teacher.( S.T.T.)The guests were, Mrs. Fiebig, and Mrs. Baek(my mom!).
Near the sink of are classroom, we have meal worms. They sheaded recently. They turn in to beetles. It is the end of the day and stay tuned for our other paragraph(s).

this week
Hi Everyone!
This week has been full of fun events. Monday we started a new spelling program (that is just that - new to both the children and me), we have a math test tomorrow, and the new art teacher comes tomorrow. We have the art teacher four times a year - and even though I wish it was once a week, I am happy to have a real art teacher who knows more about art than me!
We all still need to work on being speedy on our math (addition/subtraction) facts, so we can move into multiplication in the next couple of weeks.
Our Cricket in Times Square projects are on display either in our classroom or in the back display cabinet.
We started Science and Social Studies this week - and the children seem to enjoy going across the hall for that 45 minutes!
Don't forget about the Book It project due the end of the month and collecting those AR points too!
Have a great one and encourage your children to leave comments online!
