Fox and Bear Community

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Winn-Dixie picnic last week! The students prepared and enjoyed all the elements of the picnic in the story: egg salad sandwiches, pickles, punch, pictures of dogs, and music on the guitar. Last week, they also enjoyed some festive, educational activities including a scavenger hunt with fun facts about Halloween and lessons on the parts of a pumpkin. We carved a pumpkin, practiced estimating and counting by 10s for the seeds, and seasoned and roasted the seeds for a snack.

This week we are looking forward to starting language talks focused on the parts of speech in addition to our weekly math talks. Note that tomorrow, Tuesday, 11/5, is an E-Learning day. Students will not come to school, but will complete assignments from home. The November choice board can be found here. Students should aim to complete 2-3 activities. They can also use Class link to practice iReady and Amira.
