Spooktacular Week

What a fun-filled week with events. This week really flew by for me. This week was special because it was red ribbon week. Here are some of our kids participating in the theme days for red ribbon week.

We finished our unit on odd and even numbers and started word problems this week in math.

In science, we started our unit on force and motion. We will be learning about movements of objects that spin, roll, and slide and then we will work on push and pull.

We had our monthly SCIENCE BUDDIES this Thursday. The kids looooove when they get to go to science buddies. This time, our 5^th grade science buddies did different experiments with our little ones with different Halloween candies. These are very easy experiments you can do at home with your child with some of the Halloween candies collected over the weekend. Ask your child about what they did! A cool one is if you put M&M’s and Skittles in water, eventually the M’s and the S’s on these will float up on top of the surface.

Our fabulous librarian Mrs. Richey scheduled a spooky story teller to come to Summitt and tell us some spooky stories on Friday. The kids really enjoyed this. 

On Friday, we were called over the intercom to evacuate our classroom and go to our safe in shelter place in the hallway because of the possible tornado warning and the bad weather condition. The kids were such troopers. We were in the hallway for over an hour. They did great listening to my directions and staying calm. But the weather didn't stop us! We still had our Halloween party. Thank you to all my parent volunteers who came to join us!!!

We created our bats this week in VLA. We haven’t had the opportunity to read our bat poem yet because it’s been such a hectic week but we will this upcoming week.

Please make sure to check out the new November calendar going home in daily folders this week. Lots of events. I will be out Thursday and Friday!
