Writer's Workshop

This morning we were describing our teachers from last year, three remarkable ones.
Their names are Mr. Herman, Mrs Goodrich, and Mrs. Davidson. We were doing it for personal naritive
writing. And it was a doozy, Sophie talked about Mr. Herman, the god, Annabelle talked about how awesome he is. Fiona talked about Mrs. Davidson and her amazingness. She is very nice and friendly. Ms. Goodrich blowed students away with her clinging students in the past! What's next? Well Annabelle we also have lots and lots and lots of people talking about Mr. Herman's beautiful hair- boy is it! Beautiful!!! Ms.Davidson had a half year teacher, Mr.Gordon, because of her baby, Lilah.
That's Mrs. Davidson's baby. Mr. Gorden was very strong and incredibly funny-ha ha ha hee hee hee.
And now for the NEWS. We are working on trees. I know, I know, eh. Well, that's all!

Book Fair This Week!
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair is this week! On Thursday, October 17 in the evening there will be an ice cream social from 6-7:30.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Erik. Robin, Charlie and Maya Peterson made a very generous donation to our classroom library. We now have the Oregon Battle of the Books books as well as many from Oregon Reader’s Choice Awards.  I’m so excited to share with the kids!

Returning Books
I am all for the students borrowing the classroom library books and bringing them home to read. But please have your children bring them back to the classroom as soon as they are done. Every year I lose our class favorites and I have to replace them with my own money. I try to always write my name on and inside the cover. Thanks for your help!

Hood River Apples
Just a reminder: There has been an apple truck that comes once a year and parks in my neighborhood near Grant High School. They always bring the most amazing apples, pears, and honey from their farm. If you can make it, it’s really worth your time. The Hood River Apple People will be selling apples and pears starting Saturday, October 12th.  They will be there Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20.  They will be at the corner of 37th and Thompson from 9am-3pm.

Prices this year are $0.70 per pound, and $24.00 for a 40 lb. box.  They will have honey from our farm bees again (it’s the BEST!), as well as garden gourds and pumpkins.

Important Dates
10/16   Late Opening
10/18 Grandparents & Special Friends Day @ 1:00

Yippee! New books!

A BIG thank you goes to Erik, Robin, Charlie and Maya Peterson for their incredibly generous donation to our classroom. How long did it take an enthusiastic teacher to gather these books? An impressive 7 minutes with my Frye boots on- not sneakers like you'd might expect. I'm so excited to share with the kids tomorrow!

Laurelhurst Park Field Trip

We had a great time at the park. The students were very busy collecting information on the 9 trees that they were assigned. They worked hard, and played even harder. Thank you to all of the parents that chaperoned the trip- we couldn't have done it without you!
