October 22-24

Hello,

Field trip this week! You will not need to pack a lunch. We will be leaving after our normal lunch time to head to Barlow Planetarium.

It's wedding week! The kids have been so excited and have helped me with decorating my programs.  They have been asking if they are invited to the wedding...of course they are welcome to the ceremony. The ceremony is at 1:00 on Saturday at Sacred Heart Parish in Appleton. 
(Trust me, I know you have busy lives...I won't be crushed if you don't make it!)
I will be out of the classroom on Wednesday and next Monday.

The sign up for fall conferences will be sent out tomorrow.

Math: In math this week we are continuing to learn new strategies to solve subtraction problems. We will be learning what is efficient for us to use and try that with equations and story problems.

Have a great week! Let me know if you have any questions.

Enjoy learning about different space topics from our class.  They have worked hard to plan the information that they wanted to share with the "world."  They worked in groups to design their videos and materials. All videos uploaded to the blog except for the moon video, it was too large.  Click the link to see it!  Shadows Planets Stars Sun Moon https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tL5byIlfvVxIabcWQpzuBw8Dk5jtsJ5V/view?usp=sharing
