CRAYFISH and CHROME BOOKS!

Greetings Parents of Room 10,
     Today the children had their first peak at "Growing to Maturity" as they were asked to determine the gender of their crayfish. They love taking the crayfish out of their habitat and working with them.  I am attaching photos of the children posing with their respective crayfish buddy.










     Mr. Brown from our Tech Office came for a visit this morning to help the children "jump start" their personal Chrome Books.  A Chrome Book has been assigned to each student, and they will have the opportunity to use  them for the entire school year.  Here are some photos of the children with their Chrome Books.











      Be sure to read your child's Weekly Reflection.  I have provided some information regarding Betor's Bulls-Eye, the crayfish unit test, the Fifth Grade Musical, our Halloween Party and the Marillac Shelter service project.
      Have a wonderful weekend!                    Lester B. and class

Room 10 Update!


Dear families of Room 10,
We had another wonderful week in Room 10.  It has grown into an amazing classroom environment of mutual respect and kindness.  Each morning the children repeatedly ask about singing, and often the subject comes up during the day. Thanks to Ellie Dunn we are adding a few more songs to our repertoire. We will be sharing them with you during your visit for American Education Week. Details to follow. Please note that a request for the initial $100 deposit for Nature’s Classroom went home yesterday. The deposit is due by October 23rd. Thank you for sharing your children with me!       Lester B.
