 Today we:

-Reviewed numeric and algebraic expressions from the past few weeks in preparation for a math assessment next week.

-Had creative writing time based on photo writing prompts. We got to choose to write in any format (article, letter, story, comic, and more) and about either of the two photos shown to the class. We practiced breaking our run-on sentences apart within our writing piece.

-Had Drop Everything and Read Day. You can see in the photos that students had a book with them throughout the day. In the photo we were practicing clapping our music rhythms aloud that we had created earlier this week.

Reminders:

-No school on Friday.

-Monday is Halloween and a learning day at school. Please do not sent Halloween candy to school and costumes must follow the guidelines outlined in Mrs. Brinson's weekly email.

It has been such a joy to be your teacher this year. I am so excited for your next part of the journey in life! You will have such a good time in middle school and I can't wait to see all that you accomplish in life.
