January 9, 2012

Good Morning,

  I want to thank everyone for the great preparation for today's ski day.  For the most part, the students are very excited for today.  This morning we talked about the volunteer coaches that help make this program a success, and what we can do to be our best for them.  Wednesday's schedule (on skid days) is quite packed.  We will eat at 11:00 and have math at 11:25.  This will allow us to get math in each Wednesday before we ski.

Yesterday, the students continued their study of sound.  The children worked in teams and used a slinky to gain a visual understanding of "waves."  We also used tuning forks and a pot of water to demonstrate how waves travel all around.  Below are some pictures of yesterday's experiment.

Notes:
*Next Tuesday is our Winter Music Concert presented by Mr. Hill.  We will have two rehearsals next week.  One of the rehearsals will be on Tuesday from 9:30-10:30.  We will not need our parent volunteer for this day.  My guess is the rehearsal won't be done by 10:30, and we will not have reading and writing this day.

I hope you have a great week.

Peace,
Tom
