Last Friday was so full of activity it went by in a blink.

We had computer lab, music class, a Gifted Screening Lesson, and a special science assembly put on by the McWayne Center.

Please ask your child about these activities. The experiments were awesome.

He made toothpaste, set a dollar on fire that didn't burn up, and made the air in a balloon disappear and then reappear... All by using solids, liquids, and gas principles.

We also had our apple tasting.

We send a special thanks to:

Travasia Duncan's Grandma and Justin LaFogg's Mom for making apple pies.

(they were different from each other and both DELICIOUS)

Thanks to Alurrian Jones' Mom for sending in extra apples.

Taylor Repsher's Grandma for sending in apples with a caramel sauce.

Sara Paige Baggett's Dad for making apple Strudel.

and... Rachel Flower's Mom for making apple/raisin cookies with a drizzle icing.

WE WERE STUFFED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier in the week we tasted and voted on our favorite kind of apple (red, yellow, green)

Then we tasted apple sauce vs apple butter

and... apple cider vs apple juice

and then... apple cider vinegar ewwwwww that makes you pucker.

and last... dried caramel apple chips and sour apple straws.

Our Gotcha Party will be Monday afternoon. It's a Wii Party.

We are starting Unit 2 this week.

Your child WILL have spelling words to study and a new reading story in their reading book.

Homework will be: A spelling page, math page, timed reading passage practice, to read their weekly reading story, and and A.R. book too. Whew... Back to normal business.

TESTS: Reading, Language on Thursday Math and Science on Friday

*We will be taking our county tests in math this week. These tests are a mix of skills we have been studying.

Hope you have a Great week. Glad the weather is turning cold.
