It's hard to believe we're halfway through October! Students review the number of sessions we've been in school and how far away we are from our 100th day. During Language Arts, students are reviewing The Best Halloween Ever by Barbara Robinson. Cross-curricular activities include researching the following current events: Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, Nemo's Garden, and The Albuquerque Mexico Balloon Festival.

National Taco Day
Students engaged in a multi-sensory celebration to learn about World Taco Day on October 4th. Activities included creating paper tacos, learning about the origins of the food and Mexico, math facts around ingredients, and both fiction and non-fiction readings.
National Grouch Day
To honor the world’s favorite grouch, Oscar, from “Sesame Street,” National Grouch Day was created on October 15. We discussed emotions as part of our lesson and acknowledged that it's okay to feel different ways on different days.
Week of Respect
From October 3rd through October 7th, teachers discussed how to respect others, our community, and ourselves. Activities included "Keep the Peace" where students made tie-dye crafts during instruction.
