Halloween
Thanks to Rose Costa and our parent volunteers, our Halloween party was a blast! Check out this slideshow to see the amazing costumes, cookie decorating, guts game, and other fun we got into.

Novel Writing
Yesterday we started writing a novel for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). For homework, students created the initial draft of their main character. Here they are sharing them with their table groups. Some students (by choice) took home additional documents to work on their supporting character and villain over the weekend.

Explorer Project
For the past three weeks students have been researching, writing, and creating projects about a European Explorer who came to the new world. They were given a choice to do an iMovie video, a Keynote presentation, a Comic Life comic, or a Toontastic cartoon video.

Next week is the final week of the first trimester! Wednesday is the last opportunity for students to take Accelerated Reader tests. This might just be a great weekend for your child to cozy up with a book!
Have a safe and happy weekend!
