October 26, 2011

Good Morning,
  Today we continued working on our writings about Bob and jack and how different they are.  This has proven to be a challenging task for most, but their is definitely an excitement amongst the kids feeling like writers.  This afternoon the students will continue their investigation of geometry.  Today's focus was quadrilaterals.  During science, we will discuss the idea of force and the students will respond to the prompt, "Force is...".

  Please remember to dress warmly for Friday's hike.  I will make a final decision on Friday morning, but as of this moment the hike is a go.  Kids are encouraged to bring a water bottle as well and wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots.  Don't forget to bring in donations for the food shelf.

  Today was Beckett's first day back from his trip to Florida.  While he was gone, he kept a journal of his trip (as required/requested by all students whom leave for travel reasons).  During Morning Meeting, Beckett shared some of his entries and explained a few photos of his adventure.  Below are his photos.

NOTES:
*Reading Log and Math Surveys are due on Friday.

Have a wonderful day.
Peace,
Tom
