Fire Safety Presentation
October is fire safety month so we had Colchester Volunteer Fireman Jeff come in and talk about fire safety. He talked about the importance of practicing fire drills at school and at home. We also learned about the various parts of a firemans uniform and how it keeps them safe. Here are some pictures from our presentation.

Book Characters
Last week we started talking about the characters in the books we read. We have been using adjectives to describe what a character looks like on the outside. We have also been talking about what a character is like on the inside by reading about what they say, do and feel. In the pictures below students are working with a partner to describe the characters I have given them.

A Gift from Shaws
Friday UMS received a special gift from Shaws. Not only did they bring a Champ cake but they donated $400.00 to our school. We are fortunate to have such a generous business in our community!
Doubles Dan
Last week we worked on gaining fact power with addition strategies. One of our favorite strategies is to learn our doubles. Friday afternoon we made Doubles Dan to reinforce this concept.
