Image result for brr it's cold image      Parents, please be sure your student is wearing a coat to school. There are a lot of students wearing sweatshirts. Just a reminder that students wait outside before school and have recess outside unless the windchill is below 0. Anything above zero the students are outside!

Dates to keep in mind:
Spirit Day: November 15th
Spirit Day: November 22nd
Spirit Day: November 26th and this day is also the Geography Bee
No School: November 27-29 for Thanksgiving break! (Hard to believe, I know!!)


I am a tad late but here are a few photos of Halloween fun! I loved our Area 51 idea. The kids really did a good job with their costumes.

The 8th grade read "Lamb to the Slaughter" for their Halloween short story. I was able to create a pre-reading murder mystery activity for them that involved clues, QR codes, and different stations that involved literary standards such as grammar. This activity was a warm up or background information before they read the story. I think they all really enjoyed the activity and the story!



Every year the students paint pumpkins for Halloween. This year we had a donation of pumpkins. The kids picked saints and drew a symbol on their pumpkins. The 8th grade did a great job! CC, Abby, and Kolbey got first place with St. Valentine! Way to go girls!!



Area 51 was our theme for Halloween costumes. We had the aliens, the CIA, and the nerds trying to get into Area 51. We had a nice balance of each one. We looked awesome!!!
