Friday!

We had a crazy busy day today!! The kids worked so hard, but somehow we did not get to everything!! :)

Our Morning:
Students took their vocab/word study tests.  They will be graded today and will get a new list of words next week for the next 2 weeks.

We also worked in small groups for math centers.  We made it to 4 out of 5 of the centers! Just not enough time!! :)  Kids did great and they have a paper coming home to you today to let you know what their objective was and what they focused on.

We also had a Lockdown drill, which the kids did a wonderful job with! We would be safe!

Students also video taped their Anti-Bully videos! Mrs. Moses (counselor) will be using OUR videos for all of the guidance classes on bullying! We are so excited! We used our knowledge from the articles we read and opinions we gained to create the videos! I was really impressed! We also turned in our opinion pieces and are looking forward to our next writing piece. 

With the end of our bullying unit with our ELA standards, we used this for an opportunity to discuss ways WE are going to help with anti-bullying acts during our weekly Class Meetings.  Students had great discussions! We created a 'change' bag and put our changes inside.  Take a look in the hallway to see how your child will be the change!!!

Lastly, students had book buddies this morning instead of the afternoon. They did a great job reading with their 1st grade buddy. 

After Lunch Bunch and Specials, students had Health class with Mrs. Embry. 
We also had Guidance class with Mrs. Moses this afternoon.

We ended the afternoon with sharing our videos and sharing our Opinion Pieces. **Update - I didn't get to collect the pieces! I will Monday!

**We did not get to any of our electoral articles today! Boo! ALL things related to the election will be un-biased.  We will begin 'meeting' the presidential candidates through our next series of informational text.  I'm looking forward to helping the kids understand more wordly events with this type of reading!

Have a wonderful weekend!
 My little family will be watching my Dad get dunked in the dunking booth at the Whitaker Bank Family Picnic Saturday! ha! I hope it's warm! :)
