Happy Halloween

   I hope you all had an enjoyable Halloween Weekend! The students all had a fabulous day on Friday. In the morning we explored pumpkins and experimented with comparing the different properties of the pumpkins from our "patch". The students learned a few surprises about pumpkins that stimulated their scientific inquiry.
   In the afternoon we all attended the "open mic" at our poetry cafe. The students all performed and I was very impressed by the courage it took from all of them to get up and recite their poem in front of the class. It was good practice for our book talks which start this week.
   After our Cafe the students enjoyed a craft and game hosted by Mrs. Wizst and Mrs. Simas. Thank you both for an enjoyable Harvest celebration!
    This week will be a quiet week as we prepare for our next busy week when we go to the museum of Science on November 10th.
