Great Idea!

Boys and Girls,

I am so proud of your recommendations for our "Doing the Right Thing" reading project. We will begin our two projects immediately. Please bring in your cans for recycling and newspapers for the troops through the month of October. We will continue to collect cans until spring when we purchase and plant our trees. I will ship the newspapers to our troops in November. Again, I am very proud of your ideas and excitement about this project. Together, we can make a difference!!!

Wildlife Activity

Hello enthusiastic students!

Today I would like for you to send me some ideas about conservation and animals. What do you think that we (Russellville Elementary School) could do to help protect wild animals? In this week's story, Jane Goodall's Ten Ways to Help Save Wildlife, we have learned several suggestions. What do you think we could do? Think creatively and make up some of your own ideas.

Remember the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!!!

Love,
Mrs. Bendall

Homecoming

Homecoming activities will be held this Friday, October 9th. School will dismiss at 1:00 pm. We will also have Fall Break on Monday, October 12th, so don't come to school on that day! Yeah! Can you think of an example of figurative language to celebrate fall break or homecoming? If so, post it on our blog!!!

What is your favorite type of figurative language?

It's your time to shine!!! Leave a post with your favorite type of figurative language. Don't forget to tell me what type it is.

My favorite type of figurative language is a simile.

The candy parachutes fell from the sky like small floating marshmallows.
