10/5-10/9

This week we learned about Natural Disaster. The kids began researching information about these disasters using nonfiction books. Next week, the kids will compile their notes to create a project on the iPads to demonstrate what they've learned about how the earth can change.
We read "Creepy Carrots" where poor Jasper the Rabbit has a big problem...Creepy Carrots were following him! The kids brainstormed lots of great solutions for how Jasper could solve his problem. 



We charted what we know and what we hoped to learn about Natural Disasters

Important Information and News:
-On Wednesday, we will have our field trip to the Art Museum in the morning. Wear the red zion t-shirt and bring a packed lunch (peanut free) to eat in the classroom when we return. That afternoon, we will have our Harvest Party featuring a trip to the FISH pantry to serve in our community.

-I will have a box outside of the classroom for kids to drop off items to be collected for the FISH pantry: books, oatmeal, jiffy corn muffin mix, pork and beans, hot chocolate, fruit drinks, children's toothbrushes, children's shoes, jackets, and coats. Thank you for any donations you may have:)

-Picture Retakes will happen on Tuesday Oct. 13th. If you would like your child to have a retake, have them bring their original set of pictures, and if your child didn't get a picture taken in July, just have them bring their smiling selves:)

-Next week we will only have three days of school. Thursday there is no school due to parent teacher conferences, and Friday is Fall Break. Safe travels for all!
