I want to thank all of our wonderful parents for all of your support.  We do so many fun things in the process of learning and your support is fabulous! 

A quick note about the witches.  I am so sorry!  Apparently the sand we used was too wet and the sticks on our witches started to mold.  On Monday I will be sending home a new stick.  Please either dump out the sand and let it dry before putting your witch back together, or  tip the bottle rotate to dry out the sand.  The witches really do last years, and this is the first time they have molded.  

In looking forward to the holidays, we are starting to collect Cool Whip lids.  The Winco Brand of Whipped topping will not work, but the Western Family or Cool Whip brands do.  These will be for a Christmas surprise.  

Multipication Madness is in full swing and we are doing very well.  Keep practicing and I’m sure we’ll have Banana Splits built in no time.

Math
Keep practicing your multiplication and doing Frontrowed.com  We will be looking at patterns in multiplication and learning the patterns in the facts.

Language and Reading
We will still be working on Stellaluna and Bats.  This is really a fun unit and our foldable is going to be so cool!

Technology
We will be finishing our Sun Projects this week and then I will post the finished project here on the blog
