Week 7

Last Week (10/11/10-10/15/10) we had to do NECAP’s testing. On Friday, for an positive celebration for the class we watched Flushed Away. It was about a pet rat from England who is left home alone for a week but when an annoying rat from the drain arrives he gets flushed down a toilet. He ends up in a totally different place under the ground and meets a female sewer rat named Rita who is in BIG trouble because she stole something from a toad. In the movie Rita helps the rat get back to his home where he belongs and he helps her out with her situation with the toads.

This week (10/18/10- 10/20/10) we had a short week. There is no school on Thursday or Friday. We are super excited that we get a break. We also get to have a normal Friday but yet it is Wednesday. This means the point store will be open and we have check in with the teachers about the week.

Have a great weekend!

September

What a wonderful year we have started.  We have spent the month of September getting to know each other and establishing a community in our new classroom.  We have been working on fractions and reading independent novels.  We took two trips to Mills Riverside Park and have cooked lunch two weeks in a row.  Our class is small, just three students and two adults but we are excited about the fun things that we can do.  Starting soon we will have weekly reports and pictures to share the fun activities that we will be doing.

October will bring a scary stories and fun autumn activities.  I can't wait!!
