African Folktales

We finished studying components of folktales in conjunction with our unit on Africa.  Students shared their stories, and voted for groups to read to first and second graders.

Fractions

We started a new topic in math - fractions!  Today we learned how to share cookies among friends.  See how we worked with our math partners.

Ollie.....our Elf on a Shelf!

Ollie is our little Elf on a Shelf.  He is watching over the student to make sure they behave well.  Ollie's name means "medieval pet" or "elf army."

I went to this book sale last year and it was great!  If you're free this weekend, check it out.

 COME GET BOOKS!

As the weather cools, think about curling up with a good book (or ten)!  The Friends of the Byram Shubert Library, a branch of Greenwich Library, will be holding its popular Book & Media Sale inside St. Paul's Lutheran Church, next to 55 William Street West, on October 16-17, 2010.

 

This sale includes a guesstimated 12,000 books, CDs, DVDs, videos, vinyl, and audiobooks, including loads of brand new items, as well as some antiques.  You will find a wide selection of goodies, including fiction, nonfiction, TONS of incredible children's books, an enormous collection of comic books, thousands of music CDs, and other surprises!

For first picks, come to a special preview sale on Friday, October 15 from 5:30-8:30 pm.  For $15, you can attend the preview and get the best selection - it’s well worth the entrance fee!  On Saturday, October 16 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm the sale is open to all.  On Sunday, October 17 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm will be the bargain hunter’s delight “bag and box” sale ($3/bag or $5/box).

The Garbage Museum

 On Friday we had a terrific visit to the Garbage Museum in Stratford.  We learned all about the importance of recycling and saw some amazing creations made from recycled products.
