We were very noisy today so didn't make it to PE first thing. We did some extra math, however, using task cards to review representing numbers.
Homework Assignment: The kids were asked to sort and count their candy so that they can create bar graphs to represent their haul. Eleven students brought their data to school today; the others need to have it for tomorrow please.
We read a short story called "Halloween Leftovers"; students are working on answering questions related to the story. More time will be given tomorrow to complete this activity.
This afternoon the kids had music with Mr. Redding. He discussed the Christmas concert with them, including our song.
We also had Library with Mrs. Tomm. The kids finished their Inspiration webs about a famous figure on our money. When done, they started to work on their parody / song or drama skit about Phases of Matter. The one we looked at in school was "Johnny Atom" sung to The Brady Bunch theme song.

Reminder: Immigration Projects are due Monday as well. Presentations will be taking place throughout the week.
Please note the following reminder for early dismissal next week and 'no school days' later in November. For the Student-led conferences on the 7th and 8th, I will be have an open house (not set times needed) from 1:00 - 5:00 for both of those days. Hope this works for you. I look forward to seeing you and having your child discuss their learning with you.
