Greetings all!
 
Lots of updates this week:

2. We will be accepting donations on Monday and Tuesday to go to Dom Samotnej Matki im. Teresy Strzembosz, which is Home of the Single Mother.  Any donations of canned food, clothing, or toys will be taken to the home on Tuesday morning.
   
   
3. A reminder that Wednesday, September 28th will be a half day/early release for teacher professional development training.  Students will be released at 11:30am.  

This week was filled with lots of activities.  One Monday we worked together to create visuals of our times tables to represents the numbers in different groups.    It was also a timed challenge so we had to work quickly and efficiently with our groups.   We also started our MAPs tests with Reading on Monday and Math on Tuesday.  We did great!
 
Tuesday, Ms Brewster came to challenge us with a cooperation activity.  We had to work together to quickly and safely move a ball around between us – we were so efficient that we beat the 5th graders time!  We also kept going with our MAP tests (which we breezed through!) and we celebrated Berni’s birthday.  

Wednesday, Ms Hamlin made her weekly visit to continue teaching us about mindfulness.  We also celebrated International Peace Day by learning about its history and being inspired by ­­­­the movement that was started by one person’s idea. 
 
Thursday, we started getting ready for our assembly performance on Friday, September 30th.  We also continued to practice our logic SMARTs by looking for the patters in our multiplication tables.  We were creative writers as we sort our words and collaborate to make interesting sentences. 

​Friday, we continued to be creative thinkers as we worked on our skits for assembly.  We also became super writers by editing and revising our writing.  Finally, we had another birthday to celebrate - Harman!

Happy Friday!!
