The blog site and I are getting along again! It is time for an update.
  
We were treated to a display of Science in the gym on Thursday.  The students enjoyed a lyceum that presented many different fascinations of science.

We have had several absences, including the teacher, because of the flu.  Rest, liquids and healthy meals will be an order if we are all going to enjoy the holidays.

The plan is to have a Social Studies test on Chapter 3 on Tuesday.  If I don't feel the students are ready, we may push it into Wednesday.  The week will tell.

Short week!  Have a great Thanksgiving weekend with your families!



Thank you to those of you that could schedule a conference time. Getting a chance to visit with you after the first 9 weeks of school is important to me.  I like the chance to get your perspective of the year.  I plan to make calls this week to see when you can pick up your child's folder and get a chance to touch base.

Students packed 5 days of activity into 4 days last week and will do the same this week!  Hope your Veteran's Day is filled with activities that give gratitude to those that have preserved our freedoms.

On Thursday the students were treated to a field trip to the honey plant.  The field of our farmers would not be as productive if we would not have the bees to pollenate our crops.  David Salwei did a great job of introducing us to the production of honey from bee to market.  Thank you David for the tour.

Students will bring home their State Projects.  A good sign that Presidents reports should have a good start.  We will begin presenting them on December 10.  Timelines should be complete as we used our technology time last week to do the research.

Another 4 day week is ahead of us.  We will again pack it full of activities that will include the AMVets essay contest.  Students will also draw a poster to enhance their essay.
