A week rejuvenated!

We're off to another great week!

Remember that we are having Wild West Day on Friday. Feel free to dress up as a cowboy, cowgirl, or a pioneer. We'll be eating some western snacks too!

Tomorrow is blaze orange day

Saturday is hunting opener in Wisconsin and to kick it off SES has decided to invite students to wear blaze orange on Friday. Students can also wear Rails colors/clothes as we always do on Fridays. We'll be a bright looking bunch!

Veteran's Day

Yesterday was Veteran's Day. We had two wonderful veterans visit our class and talk to us about their experiences and what they learned.

In the hall we posted our thank you cards to our veterans and also made our national symbol, the bald eagle.

 
A special thank you goes out to all our veterans; past, present and future! We appreciate you!

A week before vacation

Last Thursday was pajama day. We earned the day for our great behavior in October. We are working towards filling up our marble jar for November now.

Today is our last week before our Thanksgiving break. It is a week jammed packed with activities!

This week we'll be attending our Veteran's Program, have veteran visitors, watch a play, and learn about the stars. We also have fall bingo this week.

This is the last week for Sunny D caps, so if you have them, send them in.

Original Works orders are due by Friday. Also, book orders are due in by Friday. I will do one more book order before Christmas.

We made animal tracks out of potato engravings. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4B6qqBRN5ifZUMxZG1NMGhfUlU Last week we compared two different types of wood engravings, so I thought this would be a great project!

Today Mr. Anderson came and read to us. We enjoy reading about the Wild West.
