October 22-25 'no excuse' words:

Every Tuesday, students are given 5 new words that come from and are related to our curricular studies. The expectation is that students will 'say, spell and use' these words through their reading, speaking, and writing.

Please review these words with your child, discuss their meaning, spelling, and use. Students will have access to these words around the classroom and on their desks.

Students were thrilled to have the opportunity to look, touch and explore artifacts relating to dinosaurs, sedimentary rocks, and fossils. Thank you to Mrs. Mitchke our Resource Teacher, for getting us this wonderful resource :))

Students had the opportunity to rotate to 12 separate stations, At each station, they documented their ideas and big questions!
