Congratulatins to Karson Lewis and Cristian Torres! They are the Star Students for The Gibbons and Whitelaw Apes. They have both worked hard all week, and set a good example for their classmates.
We were well represented at Skate Station. We had the most students in fifth grade show up to support the PTA, and the second most in the school. We rock! We have also sold the most Entertainment coupon books in the school. This is a testament to the incredible parents of Room 71 and 73.
We started our "Scary Stories" writing project today, and I can't wait to see the finished projects in a week or two.
This week we were also introduced to Earl Grayson, a character in Maniac Magee. He is an incredbly naive but good hearted man. Hopefully, your children will learn something from him. We have been reading a lot in Rooms 71 & 73! We are well on our way to 50 Books! Why are we reading 50 books? Because we can!
We are glad to have Derek and Lauren back. We missed you!
Don't forget: Speling Test on Monday!
