Important event: Friday, November 20 - 9:25 - 9:45 am - Publishing Party! Hello families, On Tuesday we celebrated Veteran's Day with an all-school assembly. During the assembly, one member from each grade level shared reasons why they were thankful to the men and women that serve out country. Many families at QAE honored and thanked their veterans in person during the assembly by inviting them on stage. Each member shared when and where they served. To culminate the event, all students, including our own, performed the national anthem, which we had practiced all week during song time and with David Thompson during music. Thank you veterans! Soils This week in soils we explored sand, humus, and clay. We not only examined their properties (color, sound, touch, smell) when dry, we got a chance to get messy and observe what happens to each type of soil when water is added! Students were eager to roll, smear, and blend the different components of soil. Next week we will continue to explore other properties of these soil components. Enjoy photos below! Publishing Party Time to celebrate our writers! During this beginning part of the year, writers have been working hard looking at master authors, learning their writing crafts and incorporating them into their own writing. On Friday, first thing in the morning, students will celebrate their hard work with a publishing party. Parents, families and friends are welcome to come from 9:25-9:45am to read and talk to the authors. If you have any other questions, please email me!

Glad to hear it! I warned them it's a hard song to sing, he took the challenge!

Cool soil experiments! It's nice to see what goes on in the class when my kids usually only talks about recess and PE. :)
