CREA guest speaker

Hello,

The class made me proud again today.  We had a guest speaker from CREA come in speak to us about adaptations.  I feel like our class definitely has a good grasp of what they are now.  They answered all of her questions correctly and often went above and beyond in their answers.  I got the "Wow!" look from her a few times, which always makes me feel good. 

Reminders: Tomorrow is another early release day.  The school book sale starts on Thursday. 

My math class dove into long division today.  They'll get homework on it when I know that they understand why it works. 

Not only have we been looking at some Rube Goldberg machines in science, we wrote cause and effect stories in writing.  Homework is to write those up more smoothly, so that each event causes the next.

We ran a few friction tests today.  This group is going to love our Force and Motion unit.  I can't wait to see some of their creations this year.  As we get further into the unit, I'll let you know when you can come in to view your child's project.  Hopefully it will be connected to several others in a long chain of machines. 

Have a great night,

Mr. Shea
