Wow, the days are just flying by! My apologies for not blogging last week!
We've been busy learning about Native Americans in class, as well as reviewing weather with "How to Make a Cloud" writing activity/craft. Students are full steam ahead with our Geometry unit, and settled down into reading groups. Other events have included "Read for the Record" where we listened to the story of "Otis" and learned about respect from the tractor, as well as our visiting meteorologist from Channel 29. Coming up, we have our Anti-Bully Day on Friday, October 18, where everyone is encouraged to wear orange that day. On Tuesday, look for the permission slip about our field trip on November 13 to the Frontier Culture Museum!
If you didn't sign up for parent conferences, it's not too late - please let me know a good time for you to meet! Suggested times are on your child's form (with the exception of Monday).
Before we look at the photos of the week, please remember that our class is still in the running for Sonic to fund us two projects through "Limeades for Learning" (link to the side of the blog). It's sooo easy - register your email and do a one time verification that you're real. Then, type in keyword "Youel" (I'm the only one!) and vote! You can vote once a day and there is no spam email, etc. Also, you have a chance to earn a free cherry limeade from Sonic if enough people vote in October! If you happen to GO to Sonic, please save your receipt! There should be a code on there worth at least 2 votes!
Please vote! Our class depends on you!

The Natives Are Restless!
Well, aren't they always? :) We had a GREAT time on Tuesday when our Jamestown visitor came and talked to us about Native Americans. Students really were into what he was saying...especially when they got to act out the part and feel real skins and hold authentic tools!
Then, on Thursday, it was "Read for the Record." All week, we were preparing by reading books about "Ladybug Girl." They can be found online at a fabulous website called "We Give Books" (wegivebooks.org). We read Ladybug Girl (the original), Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy, and Ladybug Girl Goes to the Beach. We discussed being afraid and getting along...two major themes in the books. On Thursday, students heard Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad during resource. We had a special assembly (there were so many "buggy" costumes!) and then after lunch....we had some special visitors come help us design ladybug cupcakes! The Louisa Lions football players from the high school dropped by to help. Needless to say, the kids had a great time! There were many sticky fingers and happy faces! Thanks to all the parents who helped out by sending in items!
Enjoy our pics from the week! :)
