| FUN RUN ASSEMBLY 2012! |
So Much To Celebrate in Our Classroom!
October 19th, 2012
 |
The winners FROM JUST OUR CLASSES that won something in
THE FUN RUN DRAWING ASSEMBLY! WOW !!!
|
All COE students are winners! What an amazing job for raising a record amount to put towards all the special events, assemblies, field trips, supplies for staff & students, etc... All students went home with a Fun Run Tee shirt & a drawstring bag full of coupons & other goodies as well. What lucky kids & generous families we have at COE! It was wonderful to watch our students be genuinely happy for their classmates & others to win things even if they did not. It was really super cute & touching!
While Alex O. shared "he has never won anything at the Fun Run Assembly yet," he ended up being one of the few winners of a free pizza kit from the 5th grade camp fundraiser. Can you see how thrilled he was? Adorable!

WHAT ABOUT THE SURPRISE DAY OFF BECAUSE THE POWER WENT OUT AT COE & OVMS?
 |
| While missing our school buddies, it was a treat for Mrs. Mac to be able to surprise her daughter at the bus stop for the first time EVER and for Mrs. Short to spend the day with her little ones, too! And What About That Game!!   |
COE Staff Celebrated The Upcoming

Students Could Wear Sports Wear!
Check Out Our Class Pets!

This tank & 3 Glo Fish were delivered the week before school
started. Mrs. Mac had applied for the Pets in the Classroom
grant in the summer & it was accepted. Pets in the Classroom
grants are offered to Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade
classes only in both public and private schools.These grants
are intended to support pets or aquariums in the classroom for
the purposes of teaching children to bond with and care for
their pets responsibly. Mrs. Mac bought a few guppies to join
the two remaining Glo fish. One didn't make the first day:( The kids
thought the news ones were to celebrate the Tiger's win
because of their striped tails.

Another Grant Source is Donor's Choose!
This grant source & others are a wonderful way to get materials for our classroom. We are close to getting a project funded for bean bags for reading in the classroom. Right now the NEA is matching any donations. We only have $111.00 left to go until we will receive our comfortable reading bean bags! Check out the the link below to see our current project. You are welcome to donate to this or future projects.

In Language Arts, we worked on Fluency as part of our C.A.F.E. time. We modeled different fluency rates and stages. 1-Choppy 2-Steady 3-Smooth. We used a character map to organize character traits of the character, Michael in our new read aloud. We wrote rough drafts for our "gift bag books" & are finishing our final copies next week.
In Math, we continued using ballpark estimates as a check for reasonableness of answers. We used basic facts to solve extended fact problems involved in trade-first subtraction.
In Science, we learned about sound, volume & vibrations. We reviewed parts of the ear taught in Grade 2.
In Social Studies, we reviewed what we learned so far in unit 1. We will be taking home a study guide to review & study from for our upcoming Social Studies test.
And we finished the math portion of the statewide M.E.A.P. test. Great job, kids!
