TWAS for the Week of October 24-28, 2016

Hi Families of Room 73

Here is what we did This Week at School

We finished our Monster Writing and Monster Math. On Monday we will get to play the guessing game and figure out who's monster is who's.

This week we had our first Book Fair this year!

We had an Earth Rangers Assembly! We saw a Red Tailed Hawk, Pine Marten, Porcupine, and Peregrine Falcon.

Math Night was definitely one of our highlights this week. It was so great to see everyone interested and excited about Math!

We did Coding with Mrs. Handelsman. This was another exciting point in our week! Students are able to log in to the coding website at home. The link is on the Cranston Website.

The Halloween Howler was last night and we had a blast!

Club Friday was today! Students participated in a variety of activities all over the school! It was SO MUCH FUN

Today we had our first spelling test! Students will receive new words on Monday

Show, Don't Tell Acting: this was a great way for students to express emotions through only actions, no words. We had to guess each emotion, it was hilarious!

We had a lesson about Homophones and learned that NO, they are not home phones....but in fact words that sound the same but have a different spelling and meaning.

In gym we practiced Dribbling, played Pirates, and practiced passing the ball to each other. we also practiced trapping the ball.

In Music, we learned a new song called Having a Bad Scare Day.

In Social Studies, we continued to work on our country projects.

In science we played a game called What Sound is That? We heard sounds normally, then heard them as if we had hearing loss. You could tell the difference right away, some of the sounds we couldn't even figure out. We learned that it is very important to protect your ears at all costs!

REMINDERS
Monday is Halloween! Students CAN wear their costumes but for the AFTERNOON ONLY. If they want to wear it, please send their costume with them. It has to be able to fit over their clothing and they have to be able to put it on themselves. No weapons or masks which cover their entire faces can be worn while at school.



Have a SPOOKY weekend!
