Happy rainy weekend everyone. Looks like it might clear up for this evening's tricks or treats. The kids all have a map to find my house. Feel free to come up, but don't feel you have to if it doesn't fit into your schedule. I have a bag of stuff for the kids and it will be set up on the porch. I will be here. There is a mailbox that says 158 on Lull Rd. I will have a balloon attached to the mailbox. Enter the tarred drive and you will see an a-frame house, turn right and come up the dirt drive and my house is at the top of the hill. Tan house with red shutters. be careful in the driveway, it is dark and narrow. Once you get up to the house, there is a turn around and lots of grass to turn around on. Have fun and be safe whatever your plans are.
Halloween at school on Friday was amazing. The kids did a great job and there costumes were so creative and fun. The kids had a ball. We basically snacked all day while working and we all enjoyed the parade. What a turnout! Thank you again for the donations and the wonderful snacks. The kids really appreciated it and I loved seeing the kids having fun. This week in Wonders, our genre will be expository text(a real true story about voting). The spelling words are the hardest yet and they are posted on the spelling page of this website. We just finished our unit 2 math test and the kids did a great job. Now is the time to start practicing those multiplication facts. We will be starting minute math next week. In science, we are in the middle of our animal unit and the kids are really enjoying that. This week, we will begin our Native American unit. A favorite with the kids every year. We will study four groups of Native Americans and talk about their shelters, their foods, their customs, their dress, their practices and basically what they contributed to our modern day society. We will be doing lots of research in class. The kids will be introduced to their first long term project that they will complete at home with the help of any family members. They will do a hands-on project(no bigger than desk size please) to share with classmates and other classes. There are numerous possibilities and we will talk about all of them in class. In the past, we have had Indian scenes, homemade moccasins, different types of shelters, dream catchers, clay figures, homemade lacrosse sticks, just to name a few. The most popular in the past have been Indian scenes placed in a box with recycled materials. Longhouses are very popular and so are tepees. Be creative and think out of the box. Remember to use materials from nature. I will send home more information as we go along and I will share past projects with the kids. Make it fun and family orientated. Please do not stress out. The projects will be due on the 29th of November, the day we come back from Thanksgiving break. I can't wait to see all of the ideas and hear the kids report on their project. If you have any questions, or need direction, please text or give a shout out. Here are some important dates for this month.

I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
