PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES are scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday, November 2-3. Students will not have class these days and do not need to attend this conference with you. Classes on Wednesday will be dismissed at noon and students will be in class ALL day on Thursday and Friday.

OUR MEAP FEAST was a great way to conclude taking the reading, math, and science assessments in fifth grade. Thank you for your support of this special, fun event. We had a lot of great food to enjoy. The wonderful aromas wafted through our pod.

Miciah and Natalie work on the finishing touches of their science project in Mrs. Baker's class.

Talia focuses on constructing accurate geometric drawings in her math journal.

TRICK-OR-TREAT FOR UNICEF boxes went home today. Jordan Chusid, a former Lake Hills' student and a GHHS Senior, is the UNICEF Coordinator. Students may help with this collection on Halloween night and return the boxes on Monday. We would like to surpass last year's goal of $700. The classroom that contributes the greatest amount to UNICEF will earn a pizza party. Go Room 15!


Working with oil pastels in art class allows students to learn about blending colors. Mac and Morgan seemed to enjoy it this afternoon.

EATING HEALTHY, washing hands, and getting rest are critical to maintaining our health. Our class has been fortunate (so far) to dodge considerable illness. Today we took a little extra time to use a new de-ionized water device that eliminates 99.9% of bacteria in cleaning our desktops this afternoon. The activated water attracts dirt like a magnet and lifts if from the surface, enabling it to be easily wiped away.
