Book Fair

The Book Fair has arrived at the LES Media Center.  Our class will visit the Book Fair Thursday, October 18 from 10:00 - 10:30.  The Book Fair will not accept any checks.  If you send cash please put it in an envelope with your childs name and the amount enclosed.  The Book Fair will also be open during the Fall Festival which is this Friday, October 19.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. 

Fall has arrived.

This week we will begin learning about the five regions of Georgia.  Over the weekend I took a trip to Ellijay, Georgia which is located in the Blue Ridge Region.  The leaves were turning and the climate was a crisp 46 degrees.  Over the last several weeks we have talked about fall and seasonal changes.  We also talked about fruits and vegetables that grow during the fall season.  While in Ellijay I visited several apple houses and purchased a bushel of golden delicious apples.  I also visited Burt's Pumpkin Patch and purchased some small pumpkins along with a large pumpkin for our classroom.  During our social studies lesson on Tuesday I will give each student an apple and a pumpkin.  This week I will take the students on a virtual field trip through Georgia.  

Stars

What is a constellation?  A constellation is a group of stars that forms a picture.  We have had such a great time learning about stars.  Over the last two weeks we have worked on many hands on assignments.  Take a look at some of the work: 

Place Value - Number Line from least to greatest

This week we have focused on comparing numbers.  Tuesday the students worked in groups placing numbers on a number line from least to greatest.  They were all able to master this skill.  :)

Constitution Day

Today we celebrated the 225th anniversary of the adoption of the United States Constitution.  Students participated in a Constitution Day program and learned the importance of the Constitution.
