Hello All! What a fun day today was! We watched some of Inside Out during our breaks, had some pizza, did some science hypothesizing, counted the seeds in a pumpkin and still managed to have a productive day of learning!

The Writer’s Notebook covers look amazing! The date on the paper was wrong and I apologize for that, they were due today.

Below is a picture of our dissolving pumpkin candies. The students acted like scientists to hypothesize what would happen and then spent the day observing what happened to the candy as it sat in the three liquids. 

Some questions to ask your student:

-what on a pumpkin tells you if it will have a lot of seeds or not?

-what is the value of the 4 in 43? What is the value of 3?

-what are the characters, dialogue and setting of a story or play?
