Week of 10/30/17

Thank you all for your donations for our cookie cell project. It was a great success. This project is such a fun, hands-on way to cement what they learned about cells.

On Tuesday, we have Literacy Day where students can dress like their favorite literary character. Costumes needed to be approved by me in order to dress up. We will be reading to the class, doing some "Cricket in Times Square" coloring pages and reading with flashlights in the dark. Your child can bring in a pillow/blanket/ stuffed animal and a flashlight to have some cozy lights-out reading time. We will be eating popcorn, cookies and drinking milk. If you would like to contribute to our class, you can sign up with the following link:
