Party Money ($5) is nearly all collected for our class. If you still have not yet paid, please do your best to send this money to school so that our room moms and dads will have funds to plan our upcoming Fall and Winter parties. We appreciate their help very much.
We read Justin and the Best Biscuits in the World. Our story test was over comprehension, vocabulary, and a written response. Because today was Picture Day, some students in Block 1 were unable to finish, so students are welcome to continue working on their test tomorrow in class. I'd rather students take their time than rush! Students also have a Bonus crossword vocabulary puzzle that they may choose to complete.
Here's the link to the book on line:

In the story, Justin's grandfather taught him about famous black cowboys. Here is a documentary about the history of some of these great men: African-American Cowboy: The Forgotten Man of the West
We are also working to learn "Steps in a Process." Students have been offered a challenge (Bonus) assignment to present a short "Steps in a Process" recipe to the class on Friday. This helps with fluency and presentation, as well as keeping events in sequence. Here's a "Cooking for Kids" video that can help to show how steps in a process are important:

Here's another "Steps in a Process" idea. This shows how to draw a haunted house.
