November 4-8 by Room 8 Scholars

Veterans Day by Camryn, Nash, Jocelyn, Jacob, and Abby

     Veterans Day honors people who serve or have served in the military.  My  dad honors and serves our country.  When he is working he has to make sacrifices and give up certain liberties, like spending time with family.  Sometimes my dad is not here on holidays, like Christmas, my birthday, and Thanksgiving and Halloween.  My dad went away for 6 months.  Sometimes he goes away for longer like 9 months or shorter like 5 days.  Sometimes I only see my dad on the weekends because he works far away during the week.  My dad is not always safe.  If he dies, he dies serving our country.  We all love our parents.  Whenever our parents are gone at least we know they are serving our country and protecting our liberties and freedom.

Math by Ellie

     I am writing about math.  Not like addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.  I am talking about just subtraction.  Not subtract like one-digit numbers or numbers like 37, 22, or even 10.  I am talking about 3-digit numbers.  Such as 369, 293, or 568.  Also I am talking about 2-digit numbers such as 98, 87, even 58.  Today the math problem is 

                                                                           369

                                                                           - 87  

So I just do what I always do when I am subtracting.  Since I can't subtract 8 from 6, I have to exchange.  So I cross out the 3 and make it a two  Then, I make the 6 a 16.  Now I can subtract 8 from 16.  So my answer is 282!

Special Events in Room 8 by Reeves

     We have many exiting events in room 8.  Good job with reflection everyone.  Quinn with his Ga'hoole writing and Ainsley and her "Chase the Day Away" entry and Kyle R. with his photography.  Don't forget to bring in cans for stuff the turkey!  So far Mr. Helke is winning with about 27 cans.  But theirs still time to bring in more.  I'm glad we could wear our costumes on Halloween.  I like all the cool costumes every one wore.  We also liked boo grams.  Don't forget to come to Chuck-E-Cheese Family Night to play fun games and earn cool prizes next Wednesday November 13.  I hope everyone enjoyed these special events!

* A note from Ms. Greene:  Reeves didn't mention that she also entered the Reflections contest!  I wanted to be sure she was recognized as well!
