Student Essay/Poetry Contest/ Be Kind
The National Bullying Prevention Month campaign was founded in 2006 by PACER's National Center for Bullying Prevention. The campaign is held during the month of October and unites communities nationwide to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention. Its mission is to transform a society that accepts bullying into a society that recognizes that bullying must – and can – be addressed through education and support.
The Caraway theme for the month of October is “Be Kind.” We are inviting all students to participate in an anti-bullying essay/poetry contest. The theme is “Be Kind.” Students are invited to submit an original poem with a message about being kind to others.
There will be 12-16 students/grade level chosen to receive a special prize for participating in this year’s contest.
All entries are due Friday, October 21st at 8:00 a.m.. Please turn in your entry to the front office. Students will be notified the following week. We’ can’t wait to receive your entry!

This week:
READING
This week we will be focusing on how good readers retell a story! They can retell a story and add details from the beginning, middle and end in order. They can add time words such as first, then, next, and last to retell. Children are encouraged to retell a story to a reading partner.

WRITING
We will continue writing stories about our lives. Last week we learned how to "zoom in" on one thing and write about a small moment in time, something in our life that happened over a short few minutes. This week, we will practice stretching one small moment across several lines or several pages. We will read stories or part of stories that have those moments in them and see how famous authors stretch a small moment over few pages.

We will begin our unit on Nonstandard Measurement. We will be using pieces of string, paper clips and cubes to measure things around our room. We will be able to describe object by their length, width, and height.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will continue our Coins for Coats PBL project. We will learn about wants versus needs as we examine the needs of others in our community. We will also integrate the study of money and counting coins as we collect coins from the students! Our drive begins Monday and will last until October 28th. We can't wait to see what an impact our students will have on our community! Let the giving begin!
