Oct. 19- Oct. 23

This week, we learned about rocks in science. The kids enjoyed looking at several different types of rocks and comparing and contrasting their many different characteristics. Also this week, as a class, we read Eerie Elementary: The School is Alive. It was a book that kept us on the edge of our seats the entire week. I even overhead a couple of conversations where the kids said they would rather keep reading Eerie Elementary than go outside for recess:)
