Tonight is Math and Science Night. It starts at 6:00 and will go until 7:30. There will be lots of games, an estimation jar for me to win, and free hot dogs!!
Our Tuesday folders will be sent home tomorrow. Tomorrow is an Early Release Day so we will get out of school at 12:45. We will not have specials tomorrow.

We beat our goal! Tiger Team collected 103 things of food! Way to go! We are helping to fight hunger!

Today we collected more food to help fight hunger. We have collected 82 things of food. Our goal is 100 things of food. Friday is the last day so let's meet our goal!

Tomorrow is Math and Science Night at Teravista. It starts at 6:00 and is over at 7:30. There will be lots of math games in the cafeteria for us to play. Mrs. Maggart will be there to help. There will also be free hot dogs. There will be an estimation jar for you to guess how many candies are in the jar. If you get the closests guess, you win the whole jar of candies. The 1st grade class with the most people who come win extra recess. I hope to see you there!

Love,

A Chilly Week of Fall

Dear Mom & Dad,

Wow! The weather has sure started to feel like fall! I've had to even bring my jacket to school. Please help me to remember to label my jacket, gloves, hats, etc. with my name incase I misplace it somewhere during the school day.

This week we have been reading lots of stories with problems and solutions. We have been talking about the characters and settings of each story as well. Mrs. Maggart even showed us how to can write stories with problems and solutions just like these:

We also wrote a found poem. What is a found poem? Well, it's a poem that you write about a story or book using words and phrases that you like from that story or book. It also follows the same sequence, or is in the same order, as the story itself. We read The Ugly Pumpkin and created our own found poem as a class. We each added something, we read a part, and we even "graded" ourselves on how well we participated in this project.

In Science we studied the wind. We can't see wind but we can observe, or see, things that proves there is wind. We learned the vocabluary words, "wind," "windy," and we learned all about the special tool used to measure wind, a windsock. We made our own windsocks and then took them outside to measure the wind. It was a super windy day and it began to rain on us so we didn't get to observe for long.

Writing our observations in our Science Notebooks

One of our windsocks

Look at them blow!

We also made pinwheels, another object we can use to see or measure wind.

We also read some pretty good non-fiction books filled with facts about wind. Ask me what I learned from this book!

We are still collecting food to help fight hunger. Our Tiger Team goal is 100 things of food. Let's keep bringing in canned food and other non-perishable items to make that goal!

Next week is an early release day on Wednesday and we have a Veteran's Day assembly on Thursday at 8:00 am in the cafeteria.

Love,
