Red Ribbon Magic!

We had a great time at the magic show celebrating Red Ribbon Week!   Our favorite trick was the expanding/shrinking head...it was so cool!  Have your kiddo explain this trick:

Happy Fall Break, Team Wilkinson!!

Families--
     While everyone this week has a chance to Sharpen their Saw, I wanted to wish you all a safe and enjoyable break!!  I am sure some exciting times are ahead; I can't wait to hear all about everyone's adventures.

     I have asked students to continue their daily routine of reading for 25 minutes and logging their learning in their agendas.  This will help us maintain the stamina we have built in the first weeks of school.  When we return from break, we will start our 20 Book Challenge!!  Team Wilkinson is up to the challenge, no doubt!

     See you on October 28!!!

Tie Day

In honor of our great boss, who visited us today during science, we accessorized today:

         Happy Bosses Day, Mr. Morris!

    ...giving our best boss impression!

Mile Run!

In PE today, we ran a timed mile...4 laps around the track at South!!  The cool morning provided perfect running conditions. Team Wilkinson will continue to work hard in PE so we can improve our times.  :)

     Warmup, stretch and on your mark...

          Aaaaaaaaaaand, they're off!!!

    Our leaders of the pack!!  Way to go!!

Stripes the Tiger has a message for you!!

Come check out our talking Tiger at the Fall Festival, Wednesday October 16 at 6:00. Our kiddos used their synergy all week in creating this, so their placement of the pumpkin was perfect!!

p.s.  If you come, press the black button to hear what Stripes says!!

Brain Break!!

After working very hard during MAP testing this morning, our brains needed a break :)

Weather, Week 1

Our weather unit kicked off this week and we are excited to begin our explorations next week with activities!  First though, we had to build our schema....check out all the things we learned in one just day reading weather books!!

Our week concludes with a look at why we have seasons, and then it's time for for investigations!

             

Sharpen the Saw!

Big thanks to our team moms today who helped us decorate our pumpkin for the Fall Festival next week during our "Sharpen the Saw" time!!  They even snapped a few pics for us while we were working (and writing!!).
