 Great nails for all of the Fourthies!

 A handful of popcorn, anyone?  Flora offers us some!

 Hurray for Russell and Kathryn!  TP Bowling and Frightful Organs Guessing Bowls

 You don't want to eat the Frightful Organs!

Russell Combs and Kathryn Angus thought the party was over, but the girls had other ideas!

 Berkleigh and Cabell...double mummies!  McKinley is the culprit!

 Carrington makes a scary zombie!

 Double mummies!

Katherine illustrates the Halloween math problem she wrote, which was based on information gathered on the class blog.  Great job, Katherine!


Girls, make sure you do your really hard homework tonight.  Count your Halloween candy!  We'll have fun with that tomorrow.  If you have a minute, check out the election websites I just posted for the project we are doing.  Have fun tonight, and don't eat too much candy!

Halloween

Hi girls,
Just a reminder!  It's Halloween, and you can wear jeans tomorrow!  Don't forget to do your Halloween "flipped" math. 

See you tomorrow!

 Spirit Week - Dress Like an Athlete Day

 Parents and Kids Having Fun on Globe Day

Dear Parents,

Today was wonderful!  Great weather, accommodating parents, enthusiastic girls....the first step in globe-making is over!  Even better, the globes survived recess.  One year we had a little incident...it seems the first graders needed a kickball.  Anyway, all is good!

As you know, Conference Day is scheduled for Tuesday, October 9.  Most of the slots are for that day, but there are also several other days available.  You can sign up on this link.

I will be sending more information about Conference Day, but I thought you would like the schedule now.

Thank you again for today!

Sincerely,

Pam

Globe Day Materials

Just an FYI.  We are in the midst of Spirit Week.  I hear lots of excitement over Wednesday when the girls can dress like an athlete!  How much fun will that be?

The girls have a hard copy of the Globe Assignment for Thursday, and I have demonstrated how to tear the newspaper.  Given all that is going on this week, I thought you might appreciate having this on the blog!

Globe Assignment

Date of Activity:    Thursday, September 27

Where:  Playground greentop

Time:  Morning    8:30

Materials:

Newspapers

Plastic cool whip type bowl --large size

paper grocery bags

Directions:

Tear black and white newsprint into 1” wide strips, starting at the crease of the newspaper.

Half a bag is probably enough

Tear comic strip(colored section) in 1”wide strips the same way

Put into another grocery bag, so that the colored is separated from the black and white.  

 ******No slick paper, or the glue won’t stick.

Bring on Thursday.

Globe Day

******************************************************************************

Dear Parents,

                   Did you know that Globe-Making Day is a long-standing tradition of the fourth grade?  Well, it certainly is, and globes that are, by now, heirlooms probably hang in a place of honor on ceilings across the city, so don’t miss this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to participate in this great tradition!   Don your jeans, grab your coffee cup and join us next Thursday, September 27, at 8:30, on the green-top to assist your daughter in making her papier mache globe!

                  Should it dare to rain on Thursday, the rain date will be on Friday,

September 28, at 9:20.

See you soon,

Pam, Judy, Ginger, Sloan  

Directions will be given to the girls on a hard copy.                

Polygons, polygons, and more polygons

Geometry is our first unit of study!  It's a lot of fun when eighteen girls have made a fabulous, hundred-sided geometric figure.  Check this out!
