"Have You Seen the Owl Today?"
Welcome to the Union Elementary Wise Owl! We hope that you enjoy this new way of learning what's going on at UES!
PARENTS GROUP FUNDRAISER UPDATE: The deadline for the UES Parents Group Fundraiser is this Monday, October 7. Please get your materials in as soon as you can!
GIVE A HOOT, DON'T POLLUTE! Despite the efforts of Ms. Pines' class and others, we're still finding too much litter on the playground during the day! Please talk to your children/students about the importance of taking care of our space.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, October 14 and 15. There will be no school for students those days. There will be more information on scheduling appointments for the conferences later in the week.
LIBRARY BOOK CHAT! Check out these terrific pictures of a "book chat" in the library the other day, where Ms. Parker's math FIT class finds various ways to quantify a million...
MATH PUZZLER! Look for these puzzlers every day in the Owl! How many can you solve?
A woman has seven daughters, and each daughter has a brother. How many children does the woman have?
Tuesday's puzzler: Caroline owns a kennel with 4 pens to house the dogs. Today she has 9 pups. She puts them in the 4 pens in such a way that each pen holds an odd number of dogs. How are the pens arranged so that this is possible? (Answer: there would be 3 pens, with 3 dogs each inside the 4th larger pen!)
RIDDLE OF THE DAY
What is round on both sides, but high in the middle?
Tuesday's riddle: They come out at night without being called, and are lost in the day without being stolen. What are they? (Answer: stars!)
