Hi gang -
Do you have your Halloween costumes ready?! Keep your fingers crossed for NO RAIN!!
But even though we have the party on Friday, you'll still need to be ready for Saturday -- remember I gave you some homework in your Brain Quest workbook (pages 250 and 251)? Please do that and show it to Doug on Saturday. I won't be there (I have to go to Tokyo), so Doug will lead the class.
See you Friday!

Parents: link to interesting article
Hi Moms and Dads:
I was surfing and found an interesting article with links to internet resources for teaching reading and writing. I haven't looked at any of the sites yet but thought you might be interested, too. I've copied and pasted the article into the Pretty Big Kids' blog, which rarely gets visited!! (The article is a bit long so I didn't want the Big Kidz' homework assignment to be pushed out of sight on this blog!) Anyway, click here if you would like to read the article and access the links.
See you Saturday!

Halloween and Homework
Great to see everybody today! You guys did a great job making more interesting sentences with adjectives and adverbs. So, our homework is to finish page 111. Also, as Doug suggested, I think it's a great idea for you guys to make your own animal story that explains something in nature; for example, in the Coyote story that I read today, we heard one idea about why the squirrel's tail curls over its back, and why chipmunks have 3 stripes.
I'm looking forward to reading your stories next week. And, speaking of next week, it has been a long time since we've had a LIBRARY TABLE -- let's bring back the books we borrowed, and bring along a few more to lend!
Now, about Halloween --
It's the Halloween scavenger hunt!! Like last year, it will be at the Provenzanos' house. I think everyone is looking forward to wearing costumes, so let's go for it! The party will get started at 7:00 -- you should be in your costume by 7:00, so it's ok to come a little earlier. Click here for a map to Provenzanos.
The Noguchi kids and the Provenzanos will be eating dinner at about 6:00 or a little before -- curry and rice is on the menu. If anyone else would like to have dinner with us, please let me know! Everyone is welcome, but please let me know IN ADVANCE so I can be sure to make enough.
E-mail me if you have any questions -- see you next Saturday!

Homework to do for October 18
Hi everybody -
Halloween is coming soon! Doug and I have an idea for our party this year -- let's talk about it on Saturday.
For homework, I'd like you to try the first reading activity in our Brain Quest books -- pages 82 and 83. As an extra challenge, find the Columbia river on a map of the United States! If you can't find it, ask Mom and Dad to help...
See you Saturday!

Friday already?! Here's the homework!
Hi guys -
Sorry I'm posting the homework a little late! This week I would just like you to finish up the 4 pages in our new Brain Quest workbook that we started in class. (p 6, 7, 136 and 137)
Kids with Triple Smart books can do a page or 2 in there if you still have some to do, and instead of spelling this week let's do a little writing -- a short (1/2 to 1 page) diary of something fun or interesting that happened this week. Remember - capitals at the beginning of sentences, periods at the ends!!
See you tomorrow -
