We are learning about fossils.  Cole's family sent in a bunch of cool fossils for our class to see.  There were real dinosaur bones, fern fossils, trilobites, and even fossilized dinosaur poop (everyone was grossed out about that).  Then we did an experiment to see how mineral replacement works.  We love fossils!

Red Ribbon Week was a fun time at Canyon Elementary! Monday was sports jersey day, Tuesday was crazy socks day, Wednesday was crazy hair day, Thursday was pajama day, and Friday was Halloween. Student council helped make all of that happen. That week we saw lots of crazy hair, crazy socks, and awesome costumes!

We love using chromebooks!  We use chromebooks every morning to work on math and take Accelerated Reading tests, but this month we also got to use them to type up our stories in writing.  It was cool because we could share our work with our friends.  They could read our stories and help us revise and edit without sitting next to each other.  It was way better than using a pencil and our stories turned out awesome!

Thanksgiving and Christmas are two times when our thoughts are turned to helping other people.  There are two service opportunities available to us through our great PTA.  One is a Food Drive, the other one is a Teddy Bear donation.  Check out the flyer for more information.  We have a fabulous PTA!
