    Dear Students and Families,

    In effort to create a better communication between home and school we are setting up a new classroom blog.  Here we intend to update and share the happenings of the classroom.  If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to leave a comment below.

    Last week was the first week of school, and all of the students were asked to write what they thought:

    Lucas -
    I think school is great so far.  We have done so much.  One thing we have done is reading minutes.  We are trying to get to 36 minutes in 7 days.

    Sam-
    So far school is really fun.  My favorite thing was the papier mache.  I hope we can do more later in the year.

    Caroline-
    On the first day of school we did something called Lazy Maze.  We had to make a maze for a marble.  The marble had to go as slow as possible.

    Nathan-
    At school we named our tables.  It was hard to agree.  We named on table the Orange Orangatans.  

    Ella-
    This week I had fun papier macheing the soon to be globes.

    Erik-
    Another thing we did this week is make table names.  Our table name is Powerful Purple Ponies.

    We are seeing how long we can read without being off task.

    Teddy-
    This week we started to make our globes.  We did the papier mache.

    Nolan-
    This week we did a marble maze.  We named our maze and it was called the Devil's Cave.  The good news is it looked so cool.  The bad news is we lost.

    Nate-
    This week we made custom book markers.  Mine looks like a candy bar.

    Theo, Ethan, Taylor, and Abby K.-
    This week we measured each other in inches and centimeters.  We measured each other in the legs, torso, neck/head, and wingspan.  Later we made a graph of our height.
