Fall Days

We had a lot of fun on our field trip playing games that Native Americans would have played. Ask your child about the buffalo robe game!

Students learned how to use Atlatls. These are hunting sticks that the Native Americans used. We tried to see how far we could throw them.

We had popcorn made in a kettle for a snack!

Recess was a lot of fun on the large playground!

The students enjoyed eating stew and cornbread for lunch.

We learned about Native American tools and homes.

 

We took a selfie for Red Ribbon Week! Our class had fun dressing up and wearing slippers to school this week.

What we are learning in school:
Language Arts: Students have been learning how to find the main idea and details of a passage. Students have learned that the main idea is what the passage is mostly about.

Math: Students have continued to practice their multiplication facts. We worked on our sixes, sevens, and eights facts this week. We will continue to work on multiplication next week. We will have a test on Friday over multiplication.

Genius Hour

We will have one more week of researching for our projects. I will start meeting with students about their projects and help them get started on creating their presentations the first two weeks in November. Students are welcome to work on their projects at home, but I will also provide time in class to work on them.
