Halloween Treats and Going Home for Lunch on Halloween

Please send in the ingredients for any items that will be consumed during the Halloween Party to me by Monday.  Please remember that all snacks need to be peanut and tree nut free.  I will get the ingredient list out as soon as I have all the information from all the parents.

Also, if you are planning to take your child home for lunch on Halloween, please let me know.  Have a great weekend!
BEAR FOLDER

Your child has a new BEAR folder.  They need to read their standard 100 minutes per week.  In addition, the genre this month will be Biography or Autobiography.  Your child needs to find a biography or autobiography book to read.  They should go to the Memorial Library to select a title.  The library can make many recommendations to your child at their reading level to help find just the right book.  Titles will be due on Monday, November 4th.  I will then go over the project your child will need to complete.  Happy reading!

Our Dynamic Earth

This week we studied how glaciers have affected our Earth and how they have shaped the land.  We also learned about the inside of our Earth.  We learned about the Earth's layers.

BEAR FOLDER- Novel Project- REMINDER

Once your child is finished reading their Award Winning Novel they need to complete two things:

1.  They need to write a summary about the book and submit it on Edmodo.  It needs to be at least ten sentences describing the beginning, middle and end of the story.

2.  They need to complete the project.  For this novel, they need to research about the award that the novel they selected one.  They need to identify what qualities a novel needs in order to win this specific award and then decide if they think their should have won this award and why.  There is a form in the back of their BEAR folder for them to fill out.

BEAR folders and projects are due Thursday, October 24th.
