Hello,
Rough game last night. I hope everyone has recovered.
The class did well today. I think it is because they like starting new things. They chose a biography to read for our next reading assignment. They will have to read one chapter book biography and one picture book biography on the same famous person. They will be responsible for filling out an information sheet, completing a poster, and then coming to a class tea party as their character. More details to follow.
I passed out books for our upcoming Maine animal reports. Let the research begin. I'll have to get some more books from Curtis Memorial Library. I was a bit dismayed about the huge discrepancy in the number of books on exotic animals, compared to the number on animals that we have living around us in our own state. We have over twenty books on panda bears but only one on black bears. We have five times as many books on koalas as we do on lobsters. You get the point.
Report cards went home on Friday. No signature is necessary this year, which kind of worries me. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet to discuss anything.
Have a great night.
Mr. Shea
