Agaya!
What can we say that your children neglected to tell you about Agaya? We had a great time and we feel that we grew stronger as a class through the leadership training and adventures we had. A big thanks again to everyone who was able to help us make the trip so successful! From the donations of food and cookies to the parents who gave of their time and sleep to make this possible for our kids. We can not thank you enough!

Library News
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon! Monday October 21th--Friday October 25, the Book Fair will be open all week during the school day. The Book Fair is open all day both days of Parent/Teacher Conferences.
Tuesday October 22th 4:30-6:30 is Family and Friends Night at the Book Fair with door prizes and refreshments. Come one and all and help support the library!
The students go to the Book Fair during their regularly scheduled library classes and during after lunch recess. They may buy books and/or make wish lists that their teachers give to the parents during Parent Teacher Conferences. This gives the parents a chance to see well thought out book requests from their children. Teachers will also pick out books that they wish for in their classroom. Parents and students have a chance to buy a book and donate it to the classroom. A personal placard in the book denotes the donation.
There will be books, science kits, notebooks, posters and more—something for everyone! The students help me run the Book Fair. There will be lots of books and we will have lots of fun!!!!!!!
See you there,

Reading
Students will be tackeling two interesting books in the coming month: Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe and Hatchet. I am excited about starting a new book and hope the kids will be too!
Science
This week we will begin a new unit focusing on Electricity! What does electricity have to do with siphoning? Does anyone remember how to siphon, really? I mean that was two weeks ago, right? Of course they will remember the three components of a siphon and they will see how similarly the siphon and the generation of electricty are tied together. Very exciting.
Chinese - World Language Unit
We are delighted to be inviting a Chinese Teacher into our classroom to give our students a half hour a week of Chinese Language lessons. Our students will be working with Min Hui Cui to learn the very basics of Manderine Chinese. Min Hui worked in Beijing as a Chinese language instructor to the French and English Embassies before immigrating to America. These will be the very basic foundational words that students would need to have if they were going to visit China for the first time. Hopefully, this will begin on Monday, but if not, we will begin on October 14.
