This Week:

  • We:
    • read a bunch of animal poetry and talked about the essential question, “Why Do We Love Animals.”
    • continued learning about double digit subtraction and are focusing on regrouping.
      • Subtraction Poem:
        • More on top? – No need to stop.
        • More on the floor? – Go next door and get 10 more.
        • Numbers the same? – Zeroes the game.
    • learned about flash floods and how high elevation to lower elevation, being at the bottom of cliffs, having more clay and pavements, and giant rainstorms lead to flash floods. We did an activity of finding Flash Flood Alley in Texas.
    • had our second Junior Achievement lesson. They learned about money and why we need money. We spoke about needs vs. wants and the students were “hired” as pizza makers. They had to make pizzas based on the ingredients ordered.
    • had our first Art Masterpiece, where we learned about Frida Kahlo. The students drew a self-portrait with symbols and backgrounds that remind them of themselves.

Next Week:

  • Our spelling words:
    • no spelling words this week

School Information:

  • Cultural Fair
    • We are hosting our annual Cultural Fair at the Recker campus on November 6th from 9:00-1:30. We typically ask for parents to come in and volunteer to run a table based on your family’s culture. We would love for families to host a table to share artifacts, foods, and stories that reflect your family’s culture. This is such a fun and informative event for our elementary students. Here is our sign-up link and thank you so much for considering! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090C4BAAA922AAFD0-35809137-cultural#/

Doors do not open until 2pm. Also, there is NO drive lane that day. Students will need to be picked up from the classroom.
