Great curiosity!

Hello,

Maybe I've found their niche.  The class had me scrambling to answer questions about atoms, molecules, carbon dioxide, oxygen, splitting atoms, etc.  It wasn't that I didn't know the answers, but many of the answers are hard to give at a ten year old's comprehension level.  I know I was happy to see all of the hands.  We got to these topics via our solid, liquid, gas discussion.  Great questions, great interest.  I told them that I'll have to add extra science to our schedule whenever a special is cancelled.

Last night we had three students take part in the extended school day.  It went pretty well.  My plan is to have them do their homework, have a little one on one time with me, and then we'll do some fun science related to what we are studying in class.  Last night we tried to make crystals.  Nothing has sprouted yet, but two of them claim to need to days before any results will show.

Nice job to all of the chorus members.  They put on a great show last night.

Early release tomorrow.  School ends at 1:00.

I'm sorry to say that I have to run.  Sorry so short.

Mr. Shea
