Thursday Halloween parade, party and carnival tomorrow!

This morning students introduced their vocabulary words. They are getting much better on these presentations. We reviewed synonyms and how to write a good sentence using adjectives and adverbs. Students began their genre papers in which they write the genre our weekly story belongs to. Then they answer the questions; how does this story affect me, how does this story affect the world, and then they compare the story to other stories we have read. We also talked about how to use our "writing" paper. This paper should help the students write five paragraph essays without so many re-writes.

In math students started playing with fractions. Tomorrow we will make fraction strips to help students actually see what we are talking about. In Idaho History we finished the movie about the geology of Idaho.

Remember to bring pumpkins tomorrow and be ready for the parade by 12:30. If parents wish to come, come around 12:10 to help your child dress up. You are all invited to watch the parade. We will also be having the Walk of Fame at 2:45.
