Sharing Hurricane Ike Stories

Welcome Back Everyone! I was excited to see ALL my students back on Tuesday. Of course, the first thing we wanted to find out was who had power and who did not! Out of 22 students and me - only 6 were without power. I hope that number is much smaller today! Some of you may know that I still am without power. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the new projected date of Friday is accurate...

Your students will be bringing home a Field Trip permission form for October 8th. I know this is short notice, but please try to return these with the $9.00 fee as soon as possible. Thank you. I will place a sign up sheet outside our door for this Field Trip and additional Field trips.

We spent the week reviewing and adjusting back to the school schedule. There was no homework this week, but we will be back to normal next week.

The third graders really enjoyed the visit from the Water Lady... she was excellent and very inspiring. I hope you will try the experiments included in the Water Wise package. Please note that this activity is optional.

Tuesday we spent the morning talking about all the stories surrounding Hurricane Ike. The students worked in cooperative groups to share the information with each other. Next, they had to decide how to present the information to the rest of the class. The results were AWESOME! Every group had an interesting way to share their stories. It was a fun and educational way to get back into the groove of school.
