What a busy day! We had our fitness walk this morning. The fifth graders were chosen to lead a special fitness cheer. The were great role models for the younger kids! Then we walked the trail with our mayor and his wife leading the way. The day ended with a homecoming parade! What fun.
Even better than that...the kids were so well behaved today. We have had homecomings that were CRAZY before. They did a great job of having the fun and then settling down to do some work as well. We even took a spelling test today!

Things to do over the weekend:
Read 20 minutes (the next quiz will sneak up on us, it is due the 15th)
Study for your science test on Monday. They have note cards and can access the study cards on the web.
Crossword puzzle with plural nouns for language arts.
Venn diagram comparing two tall tale characters.

There are a few kids with late work, as well, that needs to be caught up with THIS weekend.

Meetings: I will be at meetings Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning. There will be a sub, so I will be unable to answer your emails until I return.

Math night is changing its date to Thursday October 20. It was conflicting with the fire truck rides uptown.
