Pink and Say


This week, we have been reading a wonderful story called Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco. It is a story about 2 young boys who find themselves as soldiers during the Civil War. The story deals with very serious issues and I thought that Veterans Day week would be a great time to talk about these things. You can click here for a game on the vocabulary from the story.

Our Cyclones field trip is next Tuesday. I still have a few students who need to have their permission slips turned in. Please do so immediately.

We have finished our unit on plants in science and will be moving on to weathering and erosion of rocks and soil. Watch the Friday Folder reports for any materials we may be requesting help on for science labs.

Our next literature project is a biography report. The "hero sandwich" project was sent home Friday afternoon. Students may complete an additional project on their own for extra credit.

Thanks to all those who made it out to conferences and the program this week!!
