Halloween Field Trip

Thank you so much to all the parents who, despite the tardiness of my Halloween letter, are sending in items for the party.
I must apologize once again for the tardiness of this news, but I am excited to let you know that the representative from the Keith Albee contacted Jenny Bias yesterday. She told us she could do a tour tomorrow. As you know we have been researching local haunted locations. The Keith Albee has a haunted history, as Caitlin and Olivia well know. Jenny Bias and I thought it would be great if we could actually visit one of the places the students researched, and thankfully we got a bite yesterday. Tomorrow at about 10am we will, in our Halloween garb, walk to the Keith Albee, and take the haunted tour. It is very important that if you want your child to attend, the permission slip I sent home today must be turned in tomorrow morning by 9am.

Here is some more information on atoms. I think you will find it helpful. If you click on the green student icon that has an A+ at the top, it will take you to a page with games, quizzes, virtual tours etc... It is fun, and helpful.

Down The Rabbit Hole

We will be reading Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams starting October 20th. I am sure you are all going to love it. I am very excited! I love this book because it is a mystery, and because it is a series. You are hopefully going to love this book so much, that you will read the other "Falls" mysteries.

I am listing a few places you can purchase your book. Remember it is your responsibility to have the book by Monday, Oct. 20th. I would prefer you to have it sooner if possible.

You can buy the book at Empire, but I will be placing an order at Borders. If you would like you can order the book from either store. I suggest http://www.amazon.com/ for a possible used copy. Beware that ordering online may take more time, but it may cost less. If all else fails check the public libraries just remember that you will need to re-check out the book, plus the library should be able to order it for you.

Here are some sites that may help you in finding information for your project on the continent you chose. Please understand that everyone will be graded individually, as a group, and every person in the group will evaluate each other. All students will get to grade all other groups, so you have several grades for this project. Make sure to do your best.
