Friday and Halloween Humor

On Friday will be having a spelling test, and writing some scary sensory stories. At 2:30 4th graders will particpate in the school parade. Students walk around the building as a school. Afterwards we will be having a party in the classrooms.

I found this on the internet:
What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost?

Answer is backwards (oobmab)

Do you know any Halloween humor?

Field Trip

Our first field trip is to DAD’s Landfill on October 19th.
We are leaving the school at 11:00 and then going to Central Park to eat lunch.
Students need to bring a sack lunch. Those getting hot lunch will get a sack lunch.
Then we are going to the landfill where we will have a bus tour of the landfill.
The tour should be around an hour long- 12:30-1:30 and then we will come back to the school.

We will not need any chaperones.

Thanks,
4th grade team

Up in the Sky

Greetings!

UARS, a NASA satellite the size of a small bus, will re-enter Earth's atmosphere later this week producing a brilliant fireball somewhere over our planet. Best estimates place the re-entry time during the late hours of Sept. 23rd over a still-unknown region of Earth. Observers of the rapidly-decaying satellite say it is tumbling and flashing, sometimes almost as brightly as Venus. It’s re-entry may cause a fireball bright enough to be seen during daylight hours! Images of the UARS have also been shown on the SpaceWeather website: http://spaceweather.com

If you would like to catch a last glimpse of UARS streaking across the night sky, check Space Weather's Satellite Tracker for flyby times: http://spaceweather.com/flybys . You can also turn your smartphone into a UARS tracker by downloading our Simple Flybys app: http://simpleflybys.com
