Silent Auction for Rion Sandavol

My TA's works of Halloween art are on display in the cafetorium. The kids painted and designed Halloween cans and filled them with various goodies provided by The Hutchinson Clinic and my TA families. We are hoping to raise a sizeable amount to contribute to Rion Sandavol's family fund.
Reading classes are finishing up folklore with a 3D pop-up project and summary of a fairytale/folklore book with a partner. They are due Monday, October 31st!
We will focus on another persuasive article over vampires - one of my favorite topics:)
We will also delve into compare and contrast text structure. Do you remember Twilight Zone?????

The Weather is Changing!

October is here and the end of the first quarter is Friday, October 14th. Just a reminder that all blogs are due by the 14th and worth 25 points. Blogs can be done before and after school, TA, Enrichment, Read-in's on Fridays, or at home. Please check with your child to see if they've completed their blog.
Check out the blog and read what the kids are reading - they just might entice you to pick up a selection!
The first reading test is Thursday over Rikki Tikki Tavi, a story from our basal that we've been reading. It will be multiple choice.
I will email my parents of late assignments instead of detention slips this year. I am using the email that you provided to the office. Please make sure you've updated your email!
I absolutely want my students to turn in their work it breaks my heart to put zeros in the grade book:(
My TA will be completing their MAD Make A Difference project this month. Watch for our spooky idea in two weeks on the PHMS newsletter and KIDZ news!
