A Little Note
Dear Parents,
The months of September and October have come and gone in quite a rush! I apologize for not keeping up with the blog as I was hurriedly trying to keep up with your students. Wow! The things they have learned in the past few months are literally out of this world! Just a month ago many of them believed that the moon glows and that the Sun is the biggest star in the universe. Now they know that the moon reflects the Sun and that our Sun is just an averaged sized star. The reason our Sun appears to be so large is because it is actually closer than the other stars.
Your student has ventured to Old Iron Days in Fredonia for a field trip, experienced Family Fun Night, and decorated downtown for Fall.We have had Halloween festivities and even had a funeral for dead words. They have been paid with the 5th grade money each week for performing the tasks that are expected of then and were then able to use that money to purchase items or coupons in the class store.
Before Thanksgiving a few of the exciting things your child will experience are dissecting an owl pellet and traveling to Wichita to the Symphony. They are also decorating programs for the Veteran's Day program that will take place on Friday, November 11th at 9:00am.
Thank you for all of your support with supplies, words of encouragement, and a great Halloween party.
I will be adding pictures to the blog showing some of the activities that I have mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Mrs.Burden
