Awesome 3-Day Weekend Hopefully:)

Rested up, 5B?
It was a great 3-day weekend for me!  That Friday off was sweet little vacation that gave me oodles of energy to start a new week!  Hopefully, you had some enjoyment, too!  I heard that a lot of you were going to the Late Night Swim at the CFC on Thursday night.  I ALMOST stopped by after conferences to check out everyone having fun, but I decided I might get splashed by some little sweethearts I know:)

Last week was short and goofy with the late start, but we packed in a bunch, didn't we?  Well, watch out...here's a full week with all sort of happenings.  Check out the list below for a heads-up for the week!  This week is NATIONAL YOUNG READERS WEEK!  One day this week, we are challenged to READ OUR HEARTS out...by reading from the beginning of the day until the very end!  You daring enough to take on the challenge???  This also the week that we would ask our principal, Mr. Adams to read to us in an usual place and way!  I haven't heard too many suggestions.  So, please, chat with your families for ideas that can take place somewhere on our school grounds, is safe and allows us to listen to him reading.  Mr. Adams is willing to try it.  I think it would terrible if we couldn't brainstorm something for him!!  I gave him a few ideas, but I'd still suggest more if you have something to share.

Monday:  Veterans Day and Special Assembly with Guest Speakers
Tuesday:  Start 2nd Writing Activity with McGregor 5th Graders!
Wednesday:  Global Classrooms with Connecticut - Try Again...This time with TodaysMeet:)
                     Special Guest Visitor -about Native Americans to connect with Social Studies!                                        Math Test for all classrooms
**One day this week - hopefully - Mr. Adams can be reading from an usual spot while we enjoy a story!
Friday:  Math Mixer - Regrouping activities again before the next unit and switching teachers for math groups!

Wowser! See, what a week!?

Ok.. So rest up if you haven't been able to, and we'll start off with a WHAM on Monday!  I'll know you checked the blog if you watch our video slideshow that was put together with your thoughts, photos, videos and symbols for what a Veteran is.  I think it turned out amazing.  Thanks for all of your genuine thoughts and words.  Our visitors will feel special to be thanked for their service.

Also, be thinking of some questions you'd like to know about if you get a chance to ask these amazing men and women about their experiences.  Remember, though, to be respectful about the information you'd like to learn about.
