Week of Oct. 28

     Last week started Red Ribbon Week.  The students got to tie ribbons around the fences, drew pictures of healthy things they can do to help them stay drug free, made our door decorations (mummies), and created a list of the "Top Ten Things to Do Instead of Drugs".  This week we will continue with Red Ribbon Week.  The students will be decorating apples and saying positive things about their classmates, pledging to be drug free, making thank you cards for the firemen, and writing and drawing pictures for someone they look up to.

     In religion this week we will be defining the word commandment.  We will look specifically at the Great Commandment.  We will also talk about saints since All Saints Day is coming up.

     This week we will finish up unit 3 of Adventures of Superkids.  Students will also read the next Super-Duper issue about bubbles.  We will begin unit 4 which will look at words with er and ed at the end.  We will read the story "In a Pickle" in our readers too.  We will also do some spelling games and activities to help us learn to spell our pattern and memory words.

     In math this week we will look at the strategy counting on to find a sum, adding 0 to a number, and identifying more than one way to cover a design using pattern blocks.  We will also do some pumpkin math where the students will be weighing pumpkins, measuring the height of pumpkins, and estimating and counting the seeds of pumpkins.  We will also do some center math activities with a Halloween theme.

     For science this week we will create our timeline, work on writing a dinosaur story using everything we have learned about dinosaurs, and continue to work on researching our individual dinosaurs for our dinosaur book.
