Substitute tomorrow. Field trip Monday

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
