What's Happening In Classroom 23?

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!

Limeades, Cubes, Citizenship, and a Meteorologist....a Busy Week!

To help students understand the attributes of our 3D figures for our Geometry unit, we actually "built" cubes and rectangular prisms with marshmallows and toothpicks!  I am sure you have seen these already, but I thought I'd share a few pictures of the "work in progress." 

We also got to check on our garden this week as well!  Look how much our Broccoli, Lettuce, Cabbage, and Swiss Chard have grown!

Later in the week, we had a special visitor who reviewed with us about being a good citizen!

The next day, we got to meet Channel 29's weekend meteorologist:  Clayton Stiver!  He showed us how they predict the weather, report it, and how it really is a science!  He also let the kids know that this winter...we might be seeing some more of that "white stuff"!

So, it has been quite a busy week!  Thank you to all of our parents who have been voting on the Sonic "Limeades for Learning."  We haven't gotten very many votes, so please keep voting and encourage friends and family to do so as well!  You can click on the link to the side and type in the keyword "Moss Nukols" (that's how its spelled on the site) and please vote!  It only takes your email address!  Plus, if you vote enough times, you can earn a free limeade from Sonic!

Thanks and have a great weekend! :)
