Hello,
I had a rough one. It wasn't because of the kids. Today the adults were wearing me down. I think we had a pretty good day in the classroom. The classroom was my sanctuary.
We finished my erosion slides. (Can they define it for you now?) I got one email saying that her son was ready for a little trip out west. I'd love it if more of you are hearing that. My dream summer job is to take Maine kids out west on ten day camping and adventure trips. I think it would be so great to open up their horizons to a whole new landscape and environment.
The continent test went pretty well. I won't know for sure until I grade it, but a quick glance as I collected them made me feel pretty good.
We will try to wrap up our geography picture dictionaries tomorrow and think about creating some play dough islands. We also have a bit more map skill study to go through before jumping into rocks and minerals. That is a fantastic topic to teach: lots of investigation and exploration.
Our picture book of the day was The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit by Werner Holzwarth. You might want to ask about that one after you have eaten.
Sorry so late tonight. A parent meeting went long, mainly because I'm a talker.
Spelling test tomorrow.
Have a good night,
Mr. Shea
