Halloween

How will you be celebrating?  What's your costume? 
What's your favorite kind of candy?
I'm partial to anything chocolate.

Seed stories

This week we will be sharing and revising our small moment stories.  I hope you're proud of what you have been working on in class.  What writing strategy or technique do you think you did well?  What's something you'll long remember when you're out of 5th grade when encountering another writing assignment?

Conferences

Well, conferences are complete.  How did everyone do?  Were they as scary as you had expected?  Hope not!

Birthday celebrations

We've got our first class birthday this week - Amanda L's on Weds - Happy Birthday Amanda.
What do you think she'll choose as her special bday activity?
Any guesses?

Living Museum Speeches

Today the FINAL speech was introduced in class.  And you got a list of potential explorers - soooooooooo, what do you think?  Are you excited?  Who do you want to be?  Why?
