Hello,
I'm trying to get this out while my meeting is at meet and greet status. I will be at a professional development conference tomorrow. Please fill in the permission slips tonight. Bag lunches are available from the cafeteria for Monday's field trip, but I will need a count tomorrow.
We worked with minerals today. Ask your child about some of the properties of minerals: feel, color, streak, hardness, light, luster and shape. Calcite, Galena, and Hematite proved some of the tougher minerals to identify based on these properties. We will learn more tricks of the trade as we go. I think everyone liked testing the streak (on ceramic tiles) and hardness (with fingernails, pennies and nails) best.
Please remind your child that you expect the best from them tomorrow. I did the same as they were leaving. I'll leave some interesting stuff for them to do in my absence, but I won't be pleased with anything other than a good report from the sub.
Gotta run,
Mr. Shea
