After you finished updating your reading status, please read pages 48-51 in your Social Studies blue book with a partner.

Earth Spirit: Iroquois day
Thanks to the P.T.O. the students spent a fun day at the main campus learning about Iroquois life. It was a full day of hard work, interesting learning and dirty fun! Be sure to ask your child about the experience. Here are a few pictures that illustrate our day.  |
| This is last year's hunting lodge. As you can see, it was in rough shape. Our first job was to dismantle this so we could recycle the natural resources. |
 |
| Mr. John from Earth Spirit led the hunting lodge station. |
 |
| This is the frame of the hunting lodge after we started to rebuild. |
 |
| It was fun, but hard work to dismantle the hunting lodge. |
 |
| Ms. Kerri shared a few Iroquois stories with us. |
 |
| A few children were involved in acting out the stories. |
 |
| Ms. Kerri taught us a game that the Iroquois played. |
 |
| Mr. Scott led an interesting session that involved Iroquois artifacts. |
 |
| We learned about the Three Sisters and how the Iroquois prepared some of their food |
 |
| The children of the Iroquois were responsible for some intense work. |
 |
| The finished product: the whole class fit inside! |

Hello Students,
I hope your Halloween weekend was filled with more treats than tricks! I am curious to know which kind of candy is your favorite. Please write it on the post it note I gave you and put it on the easel. While you are up, please wash your hands and order your lunch as well.
After you have read this week's poem, please number your spelling folder from 1-20. Next, you should practice the fluency passage on p.98 in your PC. Be sure to do this with a partner. Have fun with your expression and accuracy!
_____Jackson______, _____________ and _____________ will share today. __Ian___ will do the announcements.
As you can see, we have a new expression for the month. "Begin with the End in Mind" will make more sense after I read you a story at morning meeting. You can start making some prediction about what this means!
Kindly,

Hello Red Ribbon Givers,
Today is the day that you should give your Red Ribbons to your loved ones. If you haven't already, you should color them and pass them to the people in your life that will help keep you on a drug-free path.
Please order your lunch, wash your hands and read the message. Next, I'd like you to update your reading status. It has been a few days since you had to do this. Remember I am looking for a complete sentence telling about your book...capitalization and punctuation are important. After that has been updated, please complete the last of your pumpkin measurements.
Now that your heirloom projects are complete, we can begin a free share. __Clara__________, ___Donald_____ and ____Jessie_____ will share. _Ian_ will do the announcements.

Hi there! I hope all is well with you today! Please come in, read the message, order your lunch and wash your hands. I have a bit of a change for you today- it will be interesting to see who reads the message and follows the directions!
Please DO NOT do your reading status. With all of your book club work, I know where you are in your reading, so you can take a break from your status for a few days.

Dear Motivated Monday Monsters,
Hello. I hope you are well today. I hope my greeting doesn't offend you. I was just trying to use that sound device we have talked about recently. Do you remember what it is called? See if you can find the name hidden in this message!
Please order your lunch, read the message and update your reading status. Next, you should read today's poem. Finally, please update your personal choice list using last week's pretest and spelling test. Billy will do the announcements today.
We are on a break from sharing, unless you are prepared to share your heirloom project. Please let me know if you are ready to share. Everyone should be ready next Monday!
Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
p.s. Mr. Steve, our custodian, fixed your desks so they all stay up when you open them!
