Taking a nature walk on campus...
This week in science we learned about trees. So, we decided to take a nature walk and look at some of the trees on our campus.

Open house was a big success. I really enjoyed meeting the students’ families. And, Ms. Clark was very impressed by the parent turn-out.
After school today was over, we all met outside on the picnic table and wished Ethan a Happy Birthday. Then, the students enjoyed a delicious cupcake with him.
Both Ms. Rector and Ms. Denton will be out tomorrow. Please ask your children to be on their best behavior for our substitutes.
If the weather permits, during science, we will take a nature walk. I’ll try to get some good pictures.

Beginning of the Week Message...
Hello Families:
This week got off to a rocky start. Ms. Denton was home with her sick daughter and Ms. Rector is out on sick leave. Students seem to be extra fidgety and just about everyone have way too much to say to their friends. Please talk to your child about respecting learning time. They hear it over and over from me, “If you are not listening, you are not learning.”
I want to thank all the parents that sent snacks for our 10:30 hungry time. Students need a little pick-me-up at that time to keep going and “thinking” until lunch at 11:30. However, please note, snack time is a privilege, not a right. If students do not listen, work, and refrain from excessive talking, they lose their snack privilege. That is the rule, and everyone abides by it. That is probably worth talking about with your child as well.
Please remember to send a notebook with your child. We have found that the folders are not working. Students have been losing valuable papers as they navigate the halls and move from class to class.
Open House is tonight. I hope to see everyone there.

Ms. Devine visits St. Charles...
Hello families!
Today I am visiting Historic St. Charles, the first capital of Missouri. I took a walk along the river front, which is located a portion of the Katy Trail (that runs all the way to Texas). Then strolled down the original cobblestone (brick) streets, still in use today.
This is a beautiful little town (my sister lives in) honors the memory of Lewis and Clark, the team selected by President Thomas Jefferson, to map out the Louisiana Purchase, one of the best political moves that Jefferson made during his term of office.
In the pictures below, you can see a view of Main Street, with some of the buildings that are almost 300 years old. We visited the Veterans’ Memorial that has a lovely fountain dedicated to veterans of all branches of the service and all wars. The next scene is a picture of my baby sister and her dog Zeke drinking at the fountain.
The dugout canoe you see is similar to the one used by Lewis and Clark. Look closely: no motors, no seats, no life jackets. Can you tell from the picture how wide the river is and how fast it flows? What a dangerous journey they must have made.

This was a fast week...
Tomorrow will be Friday. That means that our students will have a math test and a spelling test. Please work with your child tonight to make sure he/she is prepared.

Generous Moms
The entire class wants to thank Ethan's mom for sending us antibacterial moist wipes, tissues and crackers for our snacks, and Jaime's mom for sending Cinnamon Graham Crackers. Everyone gets really hungry around 10:30. So, to help students continue to concentrate, I like for them to have a nibble.
If you have any extra crackers or cereal just sitting around the house, we will gladly take it off your hands.
