A Peek at My Week {October 20, 2013}

Thank for stopping by to check out A Peek at My Week, my weekly linky party to share what you have going on this week.

This will be a busy week for me!

I am so excited for my students to publish their Mystery Narratives this week and we will celebrate with a Publication Party on Wednesday!  We have invited pretty much the whole school staff to stop by to read their mysteries and the kids are super excited.  I am truly impressed at how much work they have put into their stories and how well they turned out.  Not one student complained about having to revise their story -- twice -- because they could see it got better and better every time.  :)

Then on Thursday we take our first field trip to Old World Wisconsin to learn about Wisconsin history.  This is a great field trip (it's only about 40 minutes away) for students to learn about life in the "old days" and to help build background knowledge.  The best part is that they get to have a tug-of-war with a bull.  {Hopefully, no one will end up in a mud puddle like past years.}  Unfortunately, the weather forecast calls for highs in the 40's....BRRRR!
