 Hi parents,

Today was a really good day for our class!

In the morning, we did some 2-digit subtraction, listened to the story "How Dogs Became Our Friends", and glued the good copy bat paragraphs into the bat books, which means we are officially finished our bat project! Unfortunately I still need to keep them for report card stuff so the students can't bring them home just yet...

The students spent much of the morning work period working on a haunted house art activity. This task was a lot more complicated than it looks - students had to do a lot of careful cutting, gluing, and sketching, but the end result was fantastic and the kids were so proud of themselves. They were constantly coming up to me and explaining these super elaborate and often somewhat disturbing backstories of their haunted houses, it was a lot of fun.

In the afternoon, we worked in our literacy groups. Some students worked on biography brochures, and others worked on halloween riddles. 

In gym, we played a new game called "Bats and Squirrels", in which students try to remove balls from their side of the gym while also being active only during the day (lights on) or night (lights off). 

We had Music at the end of the day.

Halloween Celebration Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our Halloween celebration at LBS, and I know the kids are really excited to wear their costumes to school! As usual, we are asking that students not bring any prop weapons, or wear costumes with blood, guts, etc. If students have costumes that fully cover their faces, we're asking that they not wear the mask portion of it. We are still not allowed to have any treats, sadly.

Have a spooktacular night,

Zac
