Getting Crafty!

This week we have spent quite a bit of time getting ready for the SCS Holiday Craft Fair!  We have been creating up a storm! The Esprit Team will be selling hand-knit items, Imaginary Friend dolls, Imaginary Friend doll kits, and hand-made cards.  The children are very excited and are very proud of their work!  The Craft Fair is on Saturday, December 10th from 9:30-1:30pm.  We hope to see you there!  Also, we are still looking for some volunteers to run our Esprit Table.  Please sign up at the link below.  Thanks!  Craft Fair Volunteer Sign Up

Miss Deb's class finished reading the Red Clover books this week.  They voted on their favorite.  It was a close vote, but in the end Winnie,-The True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh was the winner with a total of 9 votes.  We Forgot Brock! took second place.

Miss Deb's class also had their Opinion Writing Publishing Party this week, and wow, what a turn out we had.  Every student had a family member attend to share their writing with.  Everyone worked very hard on this unit and published some terrific pieces of writing.  A big thank you to all of our families for coming to school to celebrate our writing with us!

Esprit is beginning a science unit about Forces and Motion.  This unit is our first science unit of the school year.  We will have the opportunity to do several investigations and use our science notebooks to record our work and learning.  This unit begins with an investigation using paperclips and magnets to explore magnetic fields, magnetic force and gravity.

Esprit began a new math unit this week that will focus on multi-digit addition and subtraction.  We began the unit learning how to round numbers to the nearest ten and hundred.  We will be exploring a variety of efficient strategies we can use to add and subtract three digit numbers throughout this unit.
