Presentation of Information
Using the evidence we collected from our leaf hunts, reading passages, and booklets, we continued to investigate our questions and develop conclusions. We are having so much fun identifying our leaves and illustrating our learning through Flipgrid videos.

Check out this Halloween Podcast
In this podcast, written by Jess Judd and narrated by Amy Hays, Ethern is a ghost. He lives in a cave. But he’s not a scary ghost, and his cave isn’t a scary cave. Ethern loves jokes, and all he wants to do is tell people his jokes. It doesn’t always go very well, however. Poor Ethern. Will he ever find someone who will stay and listen to his jokes?
This story is appropriate for children aged 5 - 10.
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
A Look Ahead to...November 🦃
We are getting ready for the holidays in the next few weeks and are excited to share our upcoming events and lessons planned for November in our North Merrick Library Media Centers!
The excitement is building and ALL students will be participating in STEAM challenges this month. Students will use a variety of technologies within the design process to identify and solve problems by creating new and useful solutions. Collaboration will be at its finest when student work together to:
- build a hideout for their turkeys so they are not captured.
- create a model Mayflower that will float across a specific distance.
- design a table that will support a Thanksgiving feast of plenty.
- assemble a mini float to be a part of our very own Grade 6 Thanksgiving Day parade.
Students will share their projects on the digital media tool, Padlet. Keep an eye out for next month's issue where we will showcase our creations!
