Tuesday, Oct. 18th

Yesterday we let free our butterflies! We learned about the migration they will ne doing toward the south and said good luck to them as they flew away. The kids really wanted to keep them for longer but were okay with it once I told them that they needed to start on their journey to the south.

Today willl be our last day with the mealworms. We did our final observation with them this morning. I will be sending home the observation journals on Friday so you can see what your child has written the past several weeks.

In math yesterday we had a math test. Today we will be starting Unit 3 which starts out with place value and base-10 blocks.

In science today we read an article about the differences between insects and spiders. I remeinded them that they are NOT to make a spider for their homeowrk project because it is not an insect. We learned about eh characteristics of spiders and got osme good practice reading non-fiction articles.

**The field trip is next Tuesday. We now have exactly enough drivers for all the students-hooray! I still need permission slip from C.H. and M.W. Please send them asap! There is no cost to this trip :)
