Highlights of the month:
- Learning and practicing the rules of the classroom. On the first day of school the students and I brainstormed and decided on classroom rules that we would follow at all times.
- The D.A.R.E. program starts on Tuesday the 13th and Officer Lonergan will be administering the activities.
- Our art in the classroom will coincide with a special reading project we are working on. As a class we are reading Ramona Quimby, age 8 by Beverly Cleary. We are going to recreate Ramona at different times in the book by making a mural!
- In science we are studying hurricanes due to the unfortunate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
- Columbus Day on October 12th! Although we will be on break at this time, we will be studying Christopher Columbus and his adventures.
- Independent reading at home! Each student will bring home a book from the library and will be required to write a book report.
