Picture Day
Friday, October 10 is Picture Day. We are scheduled to have them taken in the morning around 10:30. Information and an envelope were sent home on Friday.

The class has earned their 1000 Tiger Tickets so we will be having our electronics day on Friday, Oct. 10th.  Your child may bring in something to use electronically during our celebration. I will have lap tops for kids who forget. Our next goal is to earn 550 tickets. The children selected "toy day" as their reward.

 Please send in any Box Tops you have collected by Friday, October 17. Thank you!

Your child took the Topic 3 test covering place value today.  Scores will be sent home to you. If you have any questions, please let me know.

 In Science  students did the lightbulb challenge. Given a D-cell and 2 wires they experimented with lighting a lightbulb. Next, they had to figure out how to light one using only one wire

In Social Studies we are learning about the Progressive Era and did a mock example of capitalism and monopolies.  Ask your child about the Bubble Gum Store.

During Oct. we will be having the Linn Area Extension Office come. We have the Master Gardeners.  They will be teaching the kids about plants through a variety of experiments.

In reading we are working on fluency and reading to remember. We have read books about deserts and are now doing a research paper.
