Fall is in the Air!

The kids are so excited about the fall season and can't wait for Halloween.  Over the last few weeks, we have made a Mummy project, completed a Frankenstein writing, and created a fall color the sum sheet in math.  Today the kids wrote a sentence about what I should be for Halloween and drew me in that costume! They turned out great!  We are really looking forward to Pumpkin Math on Tuesday.  Thank you so much for all the donations of paper towels, muffin liners, and newspaper.  Next week will conclude with our annual Halloween parade and party on Friday!

Your children performed in a reader's theater for the class today.  They read their lines fluently and with such enthusiasm.  They are becoming such confident readers.  Ask them to tell you about what part they played in "Old MacDonald's Noisy Farm."  We will have reader's theater every three weeks as part of our Benchmark Literacy curriculum.  The kids are really looking forward to our next script.  You can see all of our actors and actresses below!  Have a great weekend.

Fire Prevention Assembly! Blog Bonus!

The Canonsburg and North Strabane fire departments visited today.  They shared important information about fire safety.  The students practiced stop, drop, and roll as well as recited the emergency number 911. 

The firefighters got in full gear and shook hands with the students.  

As a blog bonus, your child should draw the escape route they would take to get out of your home in case of emergency.  They should also write a sentence telling where your safe place to meet would be such as a close neighbor's mailbox or tree.  Any student that chooses to complete the bonus and turns it in by October 12th will be rewarded with a dime for their bank!!
