9/11 is coming up and we are learning all about it. From terrorists hijacking planes to the brave heroes that saved hundreds of lives. It was a very tragic day.

This week we wrote the Earth's shortest stories! We like to call it the six word memoir. Here are some examples: Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Drama, Hip-hop, DANCE.   I am a curious science GEEK! They were so cool to make.

We are starting a daily reading calendar for 20 minutes for 5 days every week. Some people read over 20 minutes.

On Wednesday we met our kindergarten star partners. We help them with projects and read to them too.

We also took our religion class to care for the garden by pulling weeds and harvesting all sorts of veggies for the food pantry. We picked green beans, tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and kale.

This week was amazing.  On Tuesday we did a team-building and it really fun and wet! The other class did it too., Our time was about 5:00 and Mr. Peterson class got about 7:00. On Wednesday we had our first gym class and Mr. Spiess said we have to use the locker room, and he showed us them. At the end of the day we had star buddy but because we are sharing K5 buddies with Mr. Peterson's class, they went, and we will go next week. We are reading a book called Wonder.  Ask your child about it!
