We continued working on our 51st state projects.  They are having to complete a power point, create a flag and a map on their 51st state.  They are being very creative!  I can't wait to see the finished products. They will be presenting these to other classes and families.  I will keep you updated on when this will happen.

Rough week

This has been a rough week in the Moon household. A nasty stomach virus wiped out the family and my baby Makenly got it the worst. Needless to say there had to be a sub in our class all week. Makenly is showing signs of improvement today so I should be back by Monday.  Luckily we have great subs at Oasis Academy so I know your kids were in great hands.

Book Orders

I had previously said that book orders were due today, but I had someone ask me to wait until next Thursday.  So if you would still like to order any books you will have until next Thursday.

Scholastic book order

I sent home a scholastic book order last week. This is a great way to get books for your child because the books are such good prices! There is a code so you can just order online or you can send in your order with cash or a check.  If you write a check you only have to write one check for all books ordered. Orders are due on Thursday the 6th but if you need extra time let me know.

October 27-30

Reading:
We read the stories of Medusa and Athena (4th) and Arachne and Athena (3rd). We discussed their character traits, actions and theme. The students then read their own Greek myth and filled out their own papers.
We had a Latin/Greek test on Thursday. We will have a spelling test this week.

Writing:
We finished writing our Halloween narratives. Then we shared them with Mrs. WindRiver's class

Grammar:
We reviewed the different parts of speech on Monday and took an assessment on Wednesday.

Projects:
This week the students learned about Nevada.  On Wednesday we enjoyed pioneer stew and cornbread. We will start our new project on Monday.

The projects at the museum have been judged and our class had some winners! I promised them I wouldn't put it on the blog until I told them on Monday. I will put the winning projects on the blog after I have told the class.  They all worked hard and did a great job!
