We continued our science unit on "How Living Things Get Energy." This week we learned about food chains and food webs. We discussed producers, consumers, and decomposers and how they all rely on each other.
CA Run
We are running like crazy! So far Room 1 has made it up the coast to Hollywood and are now on our way to San Francisco. We have 91 miles to go. Please make sure your students are wearing appropriate running shoes on Tuesdays and Thursday.

In our Character Ed. program, Second Step we are currently learning about Assertiveness. We want to be able to stand up for ourselves without hurting someone's feelings or being rude.
WHEEL
Due to conferences there was no WHEEL this week. It will resume next week.
In class we did however talk about the artist Pablo Picasso. We then created Frankenstein collages that were based on Picasso's style of art.

Halloween Carnival
A big THANK YOU to all of the families that came out to help with the Halloween Carnival. Our booth was a huge success as were the delicious tamales. I had fun seeing so many of you there with your great costumes. Thank you Krissie Copp for making sure that we had all of the volunteers that we needed!
