Today in their homework folder, students are bringing home some notes we took about plants.  They should study these tonight so that they can explain what plants need (air, water, light, soil/minerals, space) and what plants make on their own (food).

BOOK IT!  They also brought home a calendar to keep at home as a reading tracker.  Every night they read at least 20 minutes, they should color the pumpkin for that day.  On November 1, they can bring their calendars back to school – any student who has colored at least 15 pumpkins in October will receive a certificate for a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut and a small treat from me.
