Spooktober 31st

Today was a whirlwind, between the cleanup from last nights hugely successful Math Freaks event, to reading buddies, the excitement of the costumes, and our "Halloween reflective study" period.  We have spent some time this week reading classic short stories by Ray Bradbury, JJ Jacobs, and Edgar Allan Poe, and we really got into the theme of the season.  Ask your child about "the Sound of Thunder", "The Telltale Heart", or "The Monkeys Paw".  We also reviewed Halloween safety, so hopefully everyone will stay safe and be sensible.  Oh yeah, and there was a bit of apple chomping fun.

Guess Who?

We have been working with Photoshop on and off all year.  Using it, we took a simple communication entry from earlier in the year, and we added some filters and layers to a photo we took, to create these cool pieces of work.  Can you guess who is who?
