Hello,
We are starting our astronomy unit. I'm pretty psyched about it. The kids will be soon too.
I hope everyone had a nice holiday break. Most of the class got to share today. We focused on the their favorite times and not on the material stuff that they got. Some homework follow-up on that as well.
I'm not sure how many of you remember last year's inaugural Science Night put on by Mrs. Palopoli. It coincided with our Quidditch Match of the Decade. We set up our K'nex Ferris wheel and a K'nex roller coaster that I had purchased. The fair was really well done and had lots of real scientists presenting right along side our student scientists. (I know, they're all real scientists, just some are paid to do it.) Ring any bells?
Well, this year we are all in. It is going to be a major event. I'm on the committee with Mrs. Palopoli to make this bigger and better. Were looking for some parent volunteers to join in the fun. If you are interested, let me know or come to our first meeting on January 13 at 5:00. That's a Wednesday. Our snow date is the next night, Thursday the 14th.
Thank you to everyone for following the "No random sweets" rule. We didn't have anything brought in close to the holiday outside of a couple bunches of grapes. Those are always welcome.
No homework club or guitar club this week. Sorry, just too much hoop right after school.
Thanks for reading,
Mr. Shea
