Halloween

We will celebrate with treats and some fun games on Tuesday, October 31st from 2-3:15pm.  There is a Halloween Parade in the gym.  We will sit in the bleachers to watch our buddies and other little 'Falcons' parade by.  If they have a costume they want to wear that day, they can come in it or put it on at 2pm.  We still have reading class in the morning and math class in the afternoon, so if their costume is not comfortable or would be distracting, please send it in a bag.  Our treats are coming from:
Hannah - juice barrels
Mason - something sweet
Kael - something healthy
Karlee - something salty
Karleigh  something sweet
Trevor - something sweet

Please be sure and send a water that day and maybe a plastic bag to take some treats home.  I'll have some baggies on hand as well.  Just thinking ahead - that's a lot of sweets in one day.

Differentiation

On Thursdays and Fridays for 30 minutes or more, we have differentiation groups formed in the classroom.  It's where all students are getting time to work on a skill area of need or an extension area.  It's crazy to think that with a class of 20 students there can be five different groups engaged in learning and different activities based on data.  The kids are rocking at this, and I'm loving it!!!  Just had to share.

New Link

There is a new link to try out called AEA Resources.  I'll be introducing it to the class so they know how to navigate around.  Try it out!
