We learned that we can do a native american project on any tribe or group that we learned about. The project letter is coming home tonight and the project is due in 2 weeks, on Monday, November 9th.
We will be having a fall celebration on Wednesday afternoon. We need toilet paper tubes for an art project we will be creating at our celebration.
We are tired of rain - indoor recess is getting BORING! If you have extra board games or card games you are readying for Goodwill - please consider donating them to our room!
Conferences tomorrow night for some of you ~ lots of illness here. Please feel free to reschedule your conference time if you are not feeling well.

Wear Red Tomorrow
Tomorrow we are being encouraged to wear red to support the high school's program on safe behaviors. The HS students came today at lunchtime and handed out stickers to the children. The slogan is "Keep your head, wear RED," meaning to think before we act in an unsafe manner.
We studied spelling and had library today. We went to Mrs. Jordan's room for more on the Northwest Indians and have made our Totem Poles! We have a great display outside our room on the bulletin board.
It was a gloomy, but fun day!
Love, Munchkinland Peoples

Tuesday/Wednesday
On Tuesday we created acrostic poems about LEAVES!
Lovely lacey multi-color tidbits
Ever blowing in the wind
Always crunching beneath us as they drop,
Verify that fall is upon us.
Excitement builds as
Snow approaches.
by Mrs. Swenson
On Wednesday we typed our poems in the computer lab. Mrs. Holmes let us print them on transparencies! We will display them on top of some of our fall drawings!

Dear Parents,
Today we went to Mrs. Jordan's room for Social Studies and began learning about the Northwest Indian tribes. They were the only ones who made totem poles. They also lived in plank houses.
We are nearly up to 50 marbles earned! That means a little over 50 more and we'll be having a special party. We'd better start thinking about it. The children have been very well behaved!

Thursday
Dear Parents - Even though it was a gloomy day outside, it was fun and cheerful inside our room! We had indoor recess for both lunchtime and afternoon recess. That's hard, because we need time to RUN and JUMP and PLAY hard! Instead we had to choose indoor games, arts and crafts or legos!
Today we learned another Native American legend about a pot, a girl and a snake! Ask us when we get home today! Did you know that Southwest Indian Pueblos did NOT have doors? YIKES!
We reviewed frames and arrows in math! Math homework is due tomorrow.
DONT FORGET that we go to the Oregon Manor Nursing Home tomorrow. We'll leave by 8:55 if you want to join us. We'll be reading to the residents. Send umbrellas, hats, hoods, etc. if it's supposed to rain!
Early release tomorrow - 1:00. Love from Munchkinland

Dear Parents,
Today we learned that we will be practicing reading our picture books so we can read to the residents at Oregon Manor on Friday morning @ 9:00. We will use a LOT of EXPRESSION! We'll introduce ourselves by our first names and ask if we may read to them. We'll be in partners for this.
We will be sandpainting in Ms. Lucas' class tomorrow. We learned about kivas today in Native Americans.
In Math we learned how to play Birds Nests which actually will be the beginning of multiplication! We also played Math Around the World!
Fun, fast day - XXOO, Mrs. S., Mrs. J. and the Munchkins

Everyone's tired today!
Dear Parents,
Today we went to Ms. Lucas' room to learn about Southwestern Native American Tribes! We learned they lived in Pueblos. They were made out of water, mud and sticks or hay. They used ladders to get the top. And then they could pull the ladders up if some bad people were coming.
We worked with fact triangles in math and played 2 math games. We earned all our marbles today and were extremely well behaved!
Happy Monday ~ Mrs. S and Mrs. J and Munchkins
