Hello everyone!

Well it has been a while since I updated the blog. We have been very busy.

Our trip to the Atlanta Zoo was fabulous. Unfortunately Ivan the gorilla had passed away in August. We did not know this until after we booked the trip. However we saw where he lived and learned a lot about gorillas. The students also learned a lot about other animals. We are studying vertebrates and invertebrates. We are also learning about different environments, and if they are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. I feel students learn so much outside the classroom. We had great conversations. I truly had a great time and so did the students.

Thanks for participating in October Family Month and our Thanksgiving Lunch.

The Book Fair is still going on until Wednesday, November 14, 2012.

We are starting a can food drive this week until Thanksgiving. Please send in cans, and nonperishable foods. It is a contest. Let's help those who need it. Thanks.

We will finish the book The One and Only Ivan and finish blogging with Mr. Columbo’s third grade class in Massachusetts this week. The students have enjoyed this activity and connecting with other third graders.


Reading - Unit 2 reading test this week. We will also finish reading The One and Only Ivan. The students will read Sarah Plain and Tall in class and for homework.
