Students were little biologists examining specimen with a microscope last week.  This week we will continue to discuss how microscopes help scientists.  Students will also be introduced to cell structures in plant and animal cells. 
We finish our story in reading this week,  tests are every other week, so we do have a test this Friday in reading.   We continue with place value, ordering and comparing whole numbers and money amounts, and rounding in math. 

Our school Walk-A-Thon  fundraiser will take place next Monday 10/7.  A donation is required for students to participate in this walk.   Grades 3-5 will be walking to Dagget Field at 11:00, have lunch there, and then head back to school.
