Coming up....

Reading Fiction Test on Wednesday, November 19th
Students will take their Reading Literature final test of the trimester on Wednesday.  Use this link to see the "I Can Read Fiction" statements.  We will also be doing review in class next week. 

Field Trip Thursday, November 20th 
On Thursday, we will be walking to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio.  Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to chaperone our trip; I randomly selected one parent to come with and contacted that person via email.  

Remember, this a walking field trip and it looks to be pretty chilly on Thursday.  Make sure your child is in comfortable shoes/boots and warm clothes, coats, hats, scarves, mittens (you know the drill)...  

Lots Happening on Friday, November 21

  • End of the Trimester PBIS Celebration: Mann School's first trimester celebration will be a Game Day! It will take place Friday, November 21st. Students will have an opportunity to play games they brought from home in their classrooms. Please have your child label any games. No electronic games will be allowed.
  • Spirit Day: Friday is also going to be a WHOLE school twin day.  All Mann kids and staff will be wearing jeans and a white shirt to show our school spirit.  We also ask that each child to bring in $1.  This will be donated to the Salvation Army.
  • End of the Trimester: Friday will mark the end of the first trimester.  Can you believe it?  Time sure does fly when you're having fun.  Report cards will not go home until December 12th.  
Turkey Trot: Highest Participation!!! 
Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade participated in the Turkey Trot last week.  Although, no one in our class won the race, we found when we got to gym on Tuesday that our class had the most students participate in the Turkey Trot!   It was really exciting and the kids got to pick their gym activity for that day as a prize! 

Mystery Reader
Thanks for being a great mystery reader for us and starting to read Jermey Fink and the Meaning of Life.




Buddies: Measurement Activity
4th grade and 2nd grade are both working on measurement in math, so we did an activity practicing our measurement and conversion skills today.  Kids had to measure their buddies height in feet and inches and then convert to just inches.  They also had to use their age and birthday to convert their age to months. Next week we will be graphing the data we collected today.
