First, we were able to walk to the fire station. The weather wasn't exactly the nicest for walking, but we made it through. While we were there, we were able to see what a firefighter looks like, and we got to see the fire truck up close. We even got to go through the fire truck and spray the hose!
Next, we got to go to on our fun field trip to the Trout Museum, and The Barlow Planetarium. At the Trout Museum, we learned some fun facts about Dr. Seuss, got to see his interesting work, and make our own fish prints. At The Barlow Planetarium, we got to explore constellations, space and the different wonders of the universe. It was so much fun to travel through a black hole. It was a great day! Thank you to all the chaperones who helped make it run smoothly.
Also, we had Open House where we got to have some great food, see our rooms, and maybe even win some prizes. It was great seeing all the parents and grandparents and everyone else the children wanted to show their room to.
Finally, we had our Halloween Social. Everyone had awesome costumes! We had a great time with our reading buddies decorating cookies and pumpkins. Thanks to all the parents who donated supplies so we could have a great day. We also were able to go downstairs and watch a movie with popcorn.
We are looking forward to a lot of fun things happening in November. We are finishing up our math chapter on 5 groups in the numbers 6-10 and will be starting our chapter on teen numbers next week. Our first quarter ended on Tuesday and report cards go home tomorrow. In your report card envelope you will also find your parent/teacher conference time.
With the colder temperatures, winter gym will be starting soon. Please make sure that your child has an extra pair of gym shoes at school to wear at the gym, if they do not already. We have parent-teacher conferences and Thanksgiving will be at the end of the month!! We have a lot to look forward to.
