October 2008
I
hope everyone is enjoying this great weather. Fall is
finally here. Don’t forget to vote for our scarecrow in
front of Dr. Todd and Dr. Chamberlain’s office. You can
vote once a day for the entire month of October.
Field
Trips:
We
had a great time at Ruggles Mine. The kids really
enjoyed hammering away at the rocks, collecting and
identifying rocks, and walking through dark caves.
Check out our pictures on the website.
We
will also go to Ripano’s Stoneworks. The company
installs countertops. We will get to see the different
types of rock they use like granite and marble. We can
see how they cut the slabs too.
Reading:
We
are finishing The Wish Giver. The students had
to choose one of three projects to complete. I can’t
wait to see them! This book also contains elements of
magic. Therefore, the students will be given a card
trick that they will have to try to perform for the
class. Let the magic begin!
Our
next book will be On My Honor.
Math:
We
will continue adding and subtracting larger numbers. We
will also be reviewing money and time. After snack both
classes will play Capture the Flag, which is a
multiplication competition, starting mid-October.
Science:
We
are still studying rocks and minerals. The class is
enjoying our field trips and experiments. We made
sedimentary rocks and metamorphic pancakes.

Social
Studies:
We just finished
our section on map and globe skills. Now, we are learning about the
different regions of the United States.
Religion:
We are learning
about the Ten Commandments, Baptism, some Saints, and the meaning of
certain prayers. October is the month of the Rosary.
English:
Our new unit is
on verbs. In writer’s workshop we are writing Halloween stories and
creating Haiku poems about the fall.
Halloween:
October 31st
is Halloween. The students can wear black and orange on this day.
We will have a Halloween party too. Happy Haunting!
