Homecoming Week

Next week is a Spirit Week on account of the big Homecoming Game at Carmel High School next Friday night. The celebration trickles all the way down to the elementary schools, or at least Woodbrook, where we love to dress up. Here are the themes:

Monday: Proud to be an American Day (No sparklers, please.)

Tuesday: Decades Day (80’s, 90’s, etc.) (I'm thinking the 1770's, personally.)

Wednesday: Pirate or Ninja Day (Again, no pirate swords, and no throwing stars, bo staffs, nunchaku, sai, kama, or shuriken, please. Nor those awesome gloves that have the blades on the back of the hand.)

Thursday: Movie Day (Such as Where the Wild Things Are or Transformers...shouldn't be hard to come up with costumes for those...)

Friday: Blue & Gold Day (I'm so happy that CHS and WB have the same colors...)

Onto other classroom news...

The kids took a Caesar's English quiz and a theme test for Reading today. The Caesar's English went a bit better than the Reading. The good news about the theme test is that they did improve over the previous one, but they still have some room for growth.

Today in Social Studies, Miss Mellinger went over the study guide for next Tuesday's test on chapter 2. Everything they need to know should be in that study guide.

Everyone have a great weekend! See you on Monday for another week chock full of learning!
