What a Busy Week!!

This week has been a whirlwind for sure.  We are loving the netbooks and have enjoyed getting online with a cool reading web site.  I have cancelled the science test for tomorrow due to time constraints.  We are going to do a chemical weathering experiment tomorrow and review a little more.  The test will be on Tuesday.  We will also take the graphing test-chapter 4-on Wednesday.  We will continue working with decimals.  The kids are really having a hard time grasping decimal place value and equivalent decimals. 

Thanks to Wesley's mom and Jada's mom for sending in candy for the trick or treating on Monday.  So far Shawn's mother is the only one who is sending a snack on Monday (rice krispie treats).  Would anyone like to send in healthy juice boxes? 

Remember that the end of the 6 weeks is Friday, Nov. 4.  Reading logs and journals need to be complete by then.  Most of the children are really close.  We have a half day on Monday the 7th and we are off on Friday the 11th.  Wow!!!  How did Thanksgiving get here so quick?

On Tuesday, Nov. 8 there will be a reading night at Douglass.  I'm not quite sure what it consists of but I think an author or speaker of some sort will be here.  I'll let you know more as soon as I do. 

There have been lots of adults in to observe our class these past 2 weeks.  Some come from other schools at the recomendation of their principal, Mr. Pyrtle has been one of them, and a new teacher came today from Leakesville Spray.  Everyone who has walked in the door has been impressed beyond belief.  #1They are amazed at how well the kids work together, #2 They can't believe how well we do transitioning from one task to the other, #3 They can't imagine believe the great behavior and class participation-ALL I CAN SAY IS WE ARE THE BEST!!! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!  What a stupid time of year for me to decide not to eat sugar!!!!  I might have to fudge (get it?) a little on Monday.  Have a fabulous weekend.  I'm off to Chapel Hill tomorrow night with my huband and nephews to watch the Carolina exhibition game.  Then we're off to Boone on Sat. to meet my daughter and her boyfriend, her best friend Elizabeth, my step-daughter Anna, and my son Jake for a great day of Appalchian football, cold weather and maybe a little snow.  There's nothing like App football with snow.  A walk down King Street, a visit to The Mast General Store an a little tailgating-wow, I am super stoked!!!  I hope your weekend is great too!!!

Love ya!!
