This October,

upper elementary

teacher, Frankie

Ersfeld, got a new

lizard and brought

it to school. It is a

baby uromastyx

that is around six

month old. Since

Frankie brought it to school, the 305 students have been

making observations on the lizard's behavior and

everyday life. We are not completely sure on the lizard’s

gender, but it is believed to be a boy. The uromastyx

name is Drogon or Drogo. One of the 305 students

quoted, “the uromastyx likes to dance, usually around

lunch time”. This young lizard, having lots of energy, has

been interesting to watch play, eat and sleep.

Halloween, that wonderful time of year where kids in the neighborhood

dress-up and go door to door and ask for free candy. Even though we aren’t

having the Halloween parade this year, there are so many different ideas for

costumes. There are scary, character, object, and animal costumes. Here are

some examples of the three costume categories:

A Ghost- Avery S.

A Zombie- Merritt W.

Glow in the Dark Reaper- Nate B.

Cat Witch- Catherine H.

The Mad Hatter- Massimo C.

Hermione- Brighid P.

Artemis- Charlotte N.

Jack (From The Nightmare Before Christmas)- Leah F.

Luna Lovegood- Kate L.

A Savage Wolf- Charlotte B.

A Spider Web- Amelia N.

A Cat Without a Tail- Summer K.

Here are a few quotes about Halloween by some of the students:

“Halloween is a fun time to hang out with friends and eat candy!” - Catherine H.

“My favorite candies are Crunch and Butterfingers!” -Merritt W.

“I liked Halloween a lot and last year I didn’t go trick-or-treating.” -Brighid P.

“My favorite thing about Halloween is the candy.” - Charlotte B.

“My favorite things about Halloween are staying up late and costumes.” Nate B.

Be safe and we hope you had a happy Halloween!!

Thursday  we  count  up  how  many  pizzas  and  how  many  slices  we  need.  (There    are  8  slices  in  a  

pizza)  Then  we  pick  people  to  go  to  the  each  classroom  to  deliver  pizza.  (about  3  people  to  a  

class.  That's  how  we  prepare  for  pizza  lunch.  

Here  is  an  example  of  how  we  would  count  the  amount  of  slices  and  pizzas.  How  many  slices  

and  pizzas  are  needed?
