Halloween Fun:
We can wear our costumes for the whole day.
Special Activity
A Bug's Life:
Our students have been learning about insects in our world over the past month. On Tuesday, October 31 in the morning, we would like to show the students, "A Bug's Life", a G-rated movie representing an ant colony who is looking for bugs to help them fend off grasshoppers from their colony.
Here is the review of the movie on common sense media:

This would connect to our study of insects and address the following curricular connections:
General Learner Expectations
Students will:
2-10 Describe the general structure and life habits of small crawling and flying animals; e.g., insects, spiders, worms, slugs; and apply this knowledge to interpret local species that have been observed.
Specific Learner Expectations
Students will:
- Recognize that there are many different kinds of small crawling and flying animals, and identify a range of examples that are found locally.
- Recognize that small animals, like humans, have homes where they meet their basic needs of air, food, water, shelter and space; and describe any special characteristics that help the animal survive in its home.
- Identify each animal's role within the food chain. To meet this expectation, students should be able to identify the animals as plant eaters, animal eaters or decomposers and identify other animals that may use them as a food source.
- Describe the relationships of these animals to other living and nonliving things in their habitat, and to people.
- Identify and give examples of ways that small animals avoid predators, including camouflage, taking cover in burrows, use of keen senses and flight.
