Visit from Dan Williams - the Weed Man!

On Thursday afternoon, we had the fortune to be educated and entertained by Dan Williams. Mr. Williams is an expert on fighting NOXIOUS WEEDS in Lincoln county. Our students were an excellent audience and have learned a lot about invasive weeds in our area, including several species that there is a $50 bounty for!!!
Maybe a weed hunting field trip is in our future???!

FRIDAY UPDATE

• BOOK ORDERS DUE TOMORROW - Friday!!
• SPELLING TEST TOMORROW - Friday!!!

Hey class - great job with the Weed presentation. The presenter actually said, and I quote, "This is the very best class! They are just amazing!"
That says a lot about your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, not to mention positive attitudes and good manners! WAY TO GO!
Maybe we should really try to find some of those $50 weeds... field trip???
I will post some pics later tonight.

Here are some school kid pics from today!

DON'T WORRY!!!
We have not had any reports of head lice in our classroom so far this year. HOWEVER, it is a fairly common problem and I thought this article in today's Washington Post was pretty informative!
Check it out if you're interested, or just remember that it's here if you need it!
Hopefully our whole class will stay lice free this year, but you never know......

Monday Sept. 22

Parents - I will be sending home a HOMEWORK policy tomorrow. It should outline my expectations a little more clearly. Please review it with your child. Parents who came to Back to School already have this paper.
Also..
I would like every child in the class to have a GOOGLE account if possible. I will also send a sign up home with your child tomorrow. The GOOGLE account will allow your child to leave comments on this blog as well as access to the Web 2.0 applications such as Google Docs. Please let me know if you have questions about the GOOGLE accounts or concerns.
Also...
I will send home book orders tomorrow. I am hoping for a fast order this time - with any luck, placing the order by Friday. This can be a great, less expensive way, to expand your library! Some of the more popular titles are being offered at a very good price. So, if you want to order, please send it in by Friday!!
I think that's it for now.
Your children were wonderful today - I'm looking forward to a productive and fun week!
Thanks for you continued support!
-Ms. Chanin

Pictures!

As promised, here are a few pictures from our hike! Unfortunately the camera was missing its memory chip, so there are only a few... better than none, right! Just means we'll have to go back...

I think you can click on these images to make them larger - give it a try!

Friday

Hey everyone!
Thank you for a great hike up to the T. The whole class made it (sorry, Xavier, let that wrist heal up and we'll go again... promise!)
Keep posted and I'll get a few pictures up as soon as possible!
Have a wonderful weekend!
-Ms. C

READING IS COOL!!

The kids getting into THE ZONE !!!

Hey Students,
Don't forget.... we're hiking to the 'T' tomorrow afternoon!
Be sure to dress for hiking! It should be pretty warm, so bring a water bottle. Make sure you have good shoes. The hike up is not too long but it's very STEEP!
Should be a lot of fun and the view is fabulous!
See you there!!!
-Ms. C

A few classroom pictures!

Hey Class,

I just though I'd put up a couple pictures from our classroom - encouragement to get you to bring back the permssion forms so we can post MORE!

okay... here's our mini-computer lab in our classroom!

Here is Paige, working hard! (She brought in that form so I can put her picture here!)

And here... is Mrs. Herman - reminding everyone that Science Club will be starting VERY soon. It sounds like a great time!

Now... bring in your form, and we can put your smiling mug up here too!!!

-Ms. C
