Fun Websites

Here are the links to some of the websites we have visited in class for our unit on immigration and our reading lesson on bats.  The students really enjoyed these sites, so I wanted to give them the opportunity to visit them at home.  Enjoy!

Dear parents,
    We have gone through our supply of tissue and white photocopy paper from the beginning of the year.  If you could please donate some for our classroom, we would greatly appreciate it!  Please send it to school with your child.  Thank you!
 

ISAT Practice!

The students have been working hard to prepare for the ISAT here at school.  Please continue to review with them at home.  

Below is a link to sample interactive ISAT questions that you and your child can practice online.   This is a fun way to review together!

Happy Halloween!
Thank you to those who brought candy to pass out to our class!  Our Halloween party was a success.  The winner of the candy estimation game will be announced tomorrow! 

There were 77 pieces of candy in the jar.  Our winner was Tamara who guessed 75 pieces.  Nice estimating!
