Week of November 4, 2019
Hello Parents,
This month we will work on Habit 2- Begin with The End in Mind. We will also begin our continent studies, starting with our own continent- North America as well as learn about the different biomes. We will begin our biome studies by learning about deserts and in particular, the deserts of North America. In botany, as we learn about the parts of a plant, we will focus our attention on learning about roots and their functions. In zoology, we will move from invertebrates to vertebrates and begin our studies of vertebrates with reptiles. We will also learn a little about rocks. Please have your child find and bring in one small to medium sized rock, unwashed. In practical life for our food preparation we will make quesadillas to use up the leftover cheese. We will just need some tortillas to add to it. I have set up a trackitforward sign-up if you can help with the tortillas.

I will be sending information about the Boosterthon (fundraiser) regularly the next little while. Please share the information with your family and friends.
Also, if you have not heard the good news, our class won the door decorating contest from Red Ribbon Week thanks to our room parents Andrea McMahan and Kami Johnson. MAPA will be providing both classes with a pizza party. As of now I think we are trying to shoot to have it on Friday. Thanks for all of your votes!
Thank you for your continued support,
Ms. Martha & Ms. Valerie
