I have a lot of important updates this week so please pay careful attention to this week's blog. The 7th and 8th graders are having a garage sale this Saturday so if you have any household items that someone might want please bring them in by this Friday. We are having another fundraiser next Tuesday, November 9th, at the Soup Plantation. 20% of all the sales that night will go to IA. Support your school and feed your family all in the same evening. Also, please remember to bring in your picture order forms by Friday the 12th. You may purchase and view photos online as well. Don't forget that next Thursday, the 11th will be Veterans' day and there will be no school.
In class we are busy building tipis and learning about Explorers and Native Americans. We are currently choosing specific people or tribes to do our research on. I am very pleased to add that we have received a lap top for every two students. We have begun typing up our personal narratives on the computers. We can't wait until we publish them and share them with you.
In math we are still working on our nimble with numbers project. We are making books that are filled with vocabulary terms that we will be using throughout the coming year. Next we will be creating time lines of our lives using positive and negative integers. If you can help think of important event that proceeded your child's life please let your child know about it so they can include it in their timeline.
