Going home early

Hello,

I don't think that I have any meeting and I'm not going to search for any.  I'm going home early.  My nose ran a bit this afternoon, so I'm fighting off something.  Going to go get some vitamins and some soup and get some rest.

A quick rundown of the day: We worked on finding the properties of more minerals: streak, light, color, hardness, luster, etc.  We worked on the difference between it's and its the when to use then or than.  Our Roald Dahl readathon continued with a very public reading chart up on the board.  Students also worked on their mini dioramas. 

Students picked animal choices for my holiday gift to the class.  We will "adopt" an animal through the World Wildlife Fund.  We will get sent a stuffed animal version of the species that we choose.  We have seventeen choices from our twenty two students.  I will announce first round match ups tomorrow.  Students can speak in support of their animal and then we will vote on each match up.  Our final two will be voted on during the last day before vacation.

Reminder: P.E class tomorrow.  Don't forget sneakers.

Harry Potter Club members should wear their house colors.  New "first years" will be sorted over the lunch period.  A note went home regarding Friday night's wand making session.

Have a good night.

Mr. Shea

Have a good night.
