Taken Over By Pumpkins Thursday

Creative, imaginative, skilled, hard-working, and thoughtful: These are just a few of the characteristics that I can use to describe 201 students and their families. The pumpkins are amazing!  Your kids are doing a great job presenting to the class. Each is speaking about the characteristic chosen, and is presenting the evidence to back up the ideas.  The writing looks great too! I hope that doing most of the work in class made this part of the project less painful for you, parents.

Today we also....

• worked on our Physical Features research
• worked on multiplying two and three digit numbers using regrouping
• read our new class novel: Phineas L. MacGuire Gets Slimed
• worked on our ST Math goals

This evening at home...

• Finish Chapter one, and read Chapter 2 in Phineas Gets Slimed.
• Create a list of 10 "Powerful Words" from the reading. These words can be descriptive adjectives or adverbs, or nouns that are specific. Keep the list in your notebook. Do not rip it out.
• Complete My Math pp. 129-130 and any unfinished classwork
• Don't forget, ha ha, that tomorrow is Halloween. Kids may bring in wrapped candy to share. There are 30 kids in our class.  Kids may bring in a costume to wear over their clothes. They should not wear the costume to school. We will change in the classroom last period.

Help!

Can anyone bring in small plastic or paper cups? We need them for a math activity tomorrow. Let me know via email or edmodo.  If I don't hear from anyone, I will pick some up on the way to school.
