What’s Going On?
October is just around the corner and the library business is booming. The King 5th graders just left the library all a buzz. Every Thursday we will use an hour block to work on research. These are the same students who did three very successful projects with Ms. Melissa Brumsted last year. They are excited to delve into new topics and post their findings on the web, as they did last year with their “Packing lists for Regions of the USA.” We’ll begin with a look at the Mayans – stay posted.
Amigos 1st grade English is beginning their Wednesday in the library with a Responsive Circle morning meeting. It’s such a treat to be included in this special way to start the day. So far we’ve learned how to say “friend” and “You’re terrific” in sign language. After we get rid of our bad feelings and gather up some good ones, we move on to greetings and a good book.
King 1st grade is studying weather. We read Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco and got very excited about how thunder and lightning are made, so we headed over to non-fiction.

I’m so excited to see what the 5th graders come up with! Maybe we can share some of what 5th graders in Wyoming are working on, too. Have fun!
