Creating the future, without fear.

// This week at HPMS //

This week Adrianna was the first Sky Room friend to present her recipe project! She also brought in a sample for us to try! Mr. Brendan told us we are going to be studying Europe this year, and we had a whole group lesson labeling the different places in Europe. Friday, the first levels had a lesson on telling time, and we learned about quotation marks, which are symbols we use in writing when someone talks.

On Friday, we celebrated Diwali! Many Sky Room moms, and dads, came in to talk to us about Diwali and how we would spread light to the world! We also had the opportunity to estimate how many seeds were in a big pumpkin.  Saamya made the closest estimation! There were over 600 seeds! First levels had a lesson on the clock. Mr. Brendan came back and showed a slide show of baby Nolan! We also had parents come in for work with your child week. The Sky Room students also had a lesson on the comma.

This week Sky Room friends learned about “visualizing” with Ms. Hannah. It means to picture what is happening in your head, especially when you are reading books without pictures!  On Friday we went on a field trip to a farm, we went on a hay ride, ate donuts, drank apple juice, and we all got to pick our own pumpkins! The most special part of this week is that Mr. Brendan’s baby was born! Everyone voted on if it was a boy or a girl, and it’s a boy (Nolan George Cain)!
