Treat each mistake as an opportunity to learn.

Book Reviews
Our class brain stormed some fabulous book project ideas, and have come up with a list from which to choose (I will post the descriptions on my Book Review webpage). This trimester students need to complete 2 book reports. However, they will need to complete 3 book reports for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. When a student completes a book, the book project will take place of the 100 minutes of reading in the packet for the week.
Harvest Party
Thanks to all of you who helped make the harvest party happen. Also, thanks to those of you who tracked down some coffee sleeves for our class! Our class really enjoyed the project :o)
Science
The last day of this science rotation will be next Thursday.
Alice in Wonderland
We had a blast today at Alice in Wonderland. We were able to connect our practice from Loud and Clear with the performers on stage.
Loud and Clear
On Monday, we practiced the hook for our speech, What I Want to be When I Grow Up. Now we will be writing the body of our speech. We will be researching what it takes to be successful in the chosen career field.
Helping Hands
Do you need a little extra help for the holidays this year? Sherwood's Helping Hands is now collecting names of families wanting assistance with Thanksgiving food, Christmas food, and/or Christmas gifts. Requests for Christmas gifts need to be placed by November 5th. Please contact Susan Burke, School Counselor, 503-825-5304, as soon as possible for the forms and phone numbers.

Lewis and Clark
