Here is our "OUT OF THIS WORLD" Space Quilt. It is our Auction project and it ROCKS!! We're looking forward to seeing you Saturday evening at the Seabury Auction. Who will be the lucky bidder of this keepsake, one of a kind quilt? Will it be YOU? Your Beacon really wants this quilt! See you on Saturday at the auction!
Here's What's Going
On in the Beacons' World:
Reading: We had a wonderful time on Tuesday celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday. Students read, played games and watched some plays by the older kids.
Novel groups have started!Several students are enjoying "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" by E.L. Konigsburg and others are reading, "Midnight on the Moon" by Mary Pope Osborne. We've also started a new read aloud, "The Whipping Boy" a Newberry Award winner by Sid Fleishman.

Writing: Students are gearing up for an official research project. This will be in conjunction with our science exploration of deep space. Students will get to research and write about nebulae, quasars, black holes and other universal events.
Math: We've moved on from our unit on time; however, please continue to practice telling time with your children at home for that's the best practice they can get! We're now working on a unit on measurement. We're focusing on standard and non-standard units, inches and centimeters.
Science: What a great science fair! While all the projects were fantastic, it was most exciting to see how they all incorporated the scientific process in their work. They were all proud of their work and they should be.
The students voted, and we're off to explore deep space! We'll be selecting topics for research next week and beginning an integrated writing unit.
Social Studies: We've wrapped up our Greek Gods and Goddesses unit! Our culminating activity of last Friday's Living History Museum Day was absolutely amazing! I was very proud of all of our Beacons as they shared their outstanding knowledge of ancient Greece. Their tri-fold boards were excellent as were their costumes! It was an exceptional day!
