No Guitar Club

Hello,

Our Superintendent has called for a full staff meeting tomorrow after school meaning that guitar club will have to cancelled. Next Tuesday is an early release, bringing our cancellations to three in a row. Please keep practicing. We will get back on track as soon as we can.

There will be no homework club on Thursday this week either due to Bowdoin basketball.

Next week is Thanksgiving. We will be having an early (1:00) release day on Tuesday. Wednesday is a no school day for kids and is set aside for conferences. I've written in about 40 possible time slots for meetings over the next two and a half weeks. Let me know if none of those work for you and we can figure something out.

I've cut and paste the directions for signing up for conferences. You can also circle times on the sheet that went home today, but the online sign up is easier and quicker for me.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the brief or nonexistent posts lately. These November weeks of report cards, conferences, basketball, meetings and regular classes are the busiest of the year.

I look forward to meeting with you all soon.

Homework club tomorrow

Hello,

My apologies for last night's math homework. I assigned questions 1-5 the night before and they were a lot easier than the next four questions. This morning, I quickly went over how the program wants them to be solved, but I didn't dwell on them too much because those are not questions that match our current math abilities. I'm sorry that I hadn't done them before hand. I thought that they would be similar to the first half of that extra practice section of the book. Thank you to the parents who emailed me. Thank you to all of you who tried to work with your kids to solve them.

Late practice tomorrow, so homework club is still on. I hope to see most of the class after school.

Most of the class finished our Lewis and Clark hallway maps today. Some have some extra work to do at home. You'll get to see those during conferences. I need to write up that sign up schedule soon.

Thanks for reading.

Mr. Shea

Late practices

Hello,

We will have homework club this Thursday due to a basketball practice schedule change.

We just finished up with guitar club, but this has to be quick for me to make it to Bowdoin by 6:00.

Ask your child about their mapping of the HBS River, just like Lewis and Clark. They took notes yesterday, but are back in the capital of the classroom today where they have to covert their notes to a map of the hallway river. We may have a few scale issues, but overall their notes looked sound.

We are entering the fraction zone in math. We have started in class, but the homeworks will remain word problem centered for a while.

I hope everyone gets a chance to go vote. Our class voted yes on one, campaign reform. We voted no on two and three. Three was the only decisive outcome at 19-2. I gave the argument on both sides of each issue, but I think seeing how much I pay in taxes, (I projected my paystub on the white board), might have been the swaying argument for no new spending.

Have a great night.

Mr. Shea
