A Positive Note!

Many prizes have been earned a used lately with our positive behavior plan.  Today there was a huge amount of coupons used and we earned our class movie!  Everyday, the class can earn scoops into our popcorn jar.  When it fills, the class earns a movie day.  Today we are watching Rio.  The popcorn jar has been emptied and actually already has new scoops earned again.  Here are some pictures of the prizes earned today.  Keep up the great behavior!

Thank You Veterans!

Last week we read a Scholastic News about "Brave Veterans."  Students read about different jobs in the armed forces.  The pictures and video got all students interested and we had some great discussions.  On Friday, we wrote letters to soldiers and veterans.  Students thanked them for their service and bravery.  These letters will be send with the candy our school collected for Treats For Troops.

This week in 212

Another busy week has come and gone!  We are currently working on "Where in the world do we live?" Students are getting to know the continent, country, state, town, and address where they live.  There is always confusion when it gets bigger to state, country, or continent.  We are also learning about the seven continents and major oceans as well. 

In math, we have been using the 100 chart to help us learn even and odd, 10 more & 10 less, before & after, and greater than and less than.  

In reading we are all starting our comprehension strategy of the month... Summarizing or main idea and details.  You can help at home by asking about the story or text.  Students will be telling the characters, setting, problem, solution, and main idea.

***REMINDER***

No school for students on Monday, November 10 and Tuesday, November 11.  Thank you to all who serve our country! Happy Veteran's Day!

Pumpkin Science

Mr. Musselman came to visit Francis Wyman today to teach us all about pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and fire.  We learned the parts of a pumpkin, that a pumpkin floats in water, three materials are needed to make fire (fuel, heat, and oxygen), and we got to see a very cool experiment.  
Ask your child today what happened!!!

                                        

Will the pumpkin SINK or FLOAT?

                                        

It FLOATS!

Mr. M shows us the parts of the pumpkin.

The Jack-o-lantern and fire triangle.

Completed fire triangle

Thumbs up= fire will go out.  Thumbs down + fire will stay lit.

"The fire will go out because the oxygen will run out inside the pumpkin." 

The EXPERIMENT!

WOW!

Pumpkin Explosion!

The crowd goes WILD!

Bus Safety

Officer Schilpeletti from the Burlington Police Department came to school to talk to us about being safe at the bus stop, on the bus, and in case of an emergency on the bus too.  Students learn to stay in a line away from the street, walk on the left hand side of the street if there is no sidewalk, safely board the bus and choose a seat quickly, sit quietly while bus is moving, and the bus driver is in charge.  We practiced exiting the bus in case of an emergency.  I hope all students are following theses safety rules on the bus everyday!
