WEEK of October 29-November 2nd











Dear Parents,
A big thanks goes out to all the parents who made our class-earned party special with veggies, fruit, treats and drinks. Thank you Susan Walton for buying Subway Sandwiches for the class!
* This Wednesday, as you know, is the big day. Our party will follow the Halloween Parade at about 9:00 a.m. We look forward to the festivities. In addition to the fun, our class will learn about the History of Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos. Thank you Sheila Hurley for organizing the big shindig.
* In Reading we will be starting a novel together in RTI entitled Sign of the Beaver. Our 10 vocabulary words will come from this book. During RTI we will learn the words and they should practice them at home. Go the Spelling Blog at: http://mrsweetspelling.blogspot.com
* In American History we will be teaching each other about colonies with the posters and lessons we learned  together in our groups.
* When our class goes to the computer lab we will be researching a colony for a group "Museum Exhibit Project" This will take the place of a test on the various colonies. Students will have to do 3 components: writing, art, and a graph/diagram/timeline.
* Throughout the week we will do a Reader's Theater when we share our "Spooky Stories" with the lights out and the microphone turned up. a
* In art we will be creating Dodecahedron Pumpkins, and Dia De Los Muertos Skulls.

That's it for now!
Mr. Sweet
