Thursday, Oct. 13

1.  Please phone the office or come in to the school to look at the boards outside the office.  There, you can see and sign up for an open space for parent teacher interviews. If you can't make it on Oct. 19th or 20th, you can mail me or phone me. We can communicate this way or you can set up an alternate time on another week.

Thanks!

2.  Our class has Special Fridays sometimes.  We had Pyjama/Stuffie day last week.  This week, it is Gum day.  Usually with Special Fridays, we take about an hour or two to focus on the theme. For example, if it is Bring a Can Day, we draw Andy Warhol drawings of the soup cans using charcoal and pastel chalk.  We then discuss Pi in Math and figure out the circumference of the can.  We then roll the cans down a ramp for races to discuss Science concepts.
 Sometimes, like with Gum Day, we watch a video on how gum is made. We guess in Science which type of gum will last longer...sugary or sugarless?  We have a gum blowing contest. 
So thank you for helping support our Special Fridays!
