Happy Halloween!  It has been an exciting week getting ready for Halloween.  The students had a great time making crafts with the parent volunteers.  Thanks again to the parents that volunteered to make the crafts! The students also had their spelling test and math test on Data Management this week.  Congratulations 1A for working so hard.  Since it was Halloween week, it was a great opportunity to discuss the importance of safety and tie in Media Literacy.  We discussed different types of media and how they contain messages.  We then watched a brief video on what Media Literacy is and then went on a walk to find different "media" forms with messages.  Ask your child what we found or click on the video: Media Literacy Video to learn about media literacy. The students made posters about safety tips on Halloween night.  Ask your child for their safety tip.   Also this week, the students wrote Halloween stories.  We discussed how every story must have a problem and a resolution.  The students were very excited to write their stories. Don't forget to read your child's new poem for the week.  Have a fun and safe Halloween!
