Happy Halloween!

Thank you for all of the wonderful treats sent in today! The rain put a damper on the day, but it was awesome to see the happy ghouls & goblins of 202! 

Social Studies test is Monday -- the green study guide went home (hopefully) today. If you study that, you will be in good shape for Monday!! 

AR Points are due Wednesday!!!! Read, read, read!!! 

No school for students on Tuesday for Election Day! 

Here are some pictures from our party!

And! Here are my pumpkins & fur babies ready for Trick-or-Treat!

Be safe tonight! Look both ways before crossing the street! Only go to houses with their porch lights on! Have fun!

Thanks for an enjoyable day, Team Lewis!

Love,

Ms. Lewis

Guess what we did today?!

We had an assembly for Red Ribbon Week.  Carnegie Police Officer, Sargent Lint shared with us a presentation about drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Carnegie Police Officer Quatro also took time out of his day to visit us.  We got to pet Dax. his police dog.  Dax is 8 years old and has been with Officer Quatro since he was a year old.  Dax lives with Officer Quatro, and will remain with him after he retires.  Officer Quatro will know when it's time for Dax to retire, but he wishes he could last another 20 years!! We had lots of fun.

We did estimating products in math!  202 really rocked at that!  

We had a science quiz, too.  It was about building a terrarium.  

Some kids were lucky enough to go to the garden with Ms. Martys today for STEAM during recess & they discovered 11 carrots still in the ground!!

Get ready for Halloween!

Today in Math, we started unit 5. We are getting ready to start double digit multiplication, so brush up on those basic facts!!! 

We did a neat activity, combining science and math! Who knew learning could be so fun? We learned about symmetry & different bones in our body. Here are the results!

Hello, 202!

Today wrapped up our second round of benchmark testing. I'm proud of our kids! They really took their time and tried their best! The results may be less than what they hoped for, but they're being assessed on 4th grade curriculum. We are almost one nine weeks in & have a lot more to learn & time to show awesome academic growth! 

Journals were graded & returned today to allow for 3 extra days to finish next weeks required 5. I thought with pumpkin carving & last minute Halloween preparations, a few extra days would help! 

It's been enjoyable reading the weekly journals! A few reminders: 

* each journal entry must be at least 1 paragraph, which is at least 5 sentences!

* mark which journal you want graded on using the rubric. If you fail to choose one, I will grade the last journal due for the week. 

* handwriting is getting sloppy & sometimes hard to read. Take your time!! If I can't read it, how can it earn points??

AR points are due on November 6th! I am elated to be able to say 77% of the class has already earned their required 10 points & have exceeded that amount!! Use this long weekend to catch up on your AR points, or to be proactive so you're ready to take a test on November 7th for the 2nd nine weeks!!! 

Enjoy your 3 day weekend!!

-- Ms. Lewis

Pens Practice

Today, the 4th, 5th & 6th graders went on a field trip to the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Consol Energy Center. We sat in the section 102, which is in the First Niagra Club! It was cool being on center ice! We got to watch the Pens practice. They played music, which had almost all of the 8,000 kids there dancing in their seats! Some of us even made it on the jumbotron! It was a lot of fun! Thank you to the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation for inviting us! (See photos below)

Reminder!

Hello, Team Lewis! 

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend! Maybe you even read a good book & practiced your multiplication facts!!!!

Tomorrow is our big, special field trip to Consol Energy Center to watch the Penguins practice! In addition to remembering we need to be on our best behavior, we also need to remember to pack our lunches!!!! If possible, please do not pack peanut butter!!!! 

The children are responsible for their own lunches, and will be eating their lunches in their seats. Backpacks are too big & bulky to take. However! If you have a drawstring backpack, I suggest taking that! It'd look like this one below!

We will be departing Carnegie at 9:30 & returning around 1:30. I can't wait for this once in a lifetime experience! Check back tomorrow for pictures!!!

Don't be late for school!!
