Quick Post

Hello,

I apologize for not blogging last night.  My computer wouldn't allow me onto our network.  I got some tech help this morning and hope that it's good to go from now on. 

It is already 7:00 so I'm going to make this quick.  Did your child recite "Poem in Your Pocket" to you yet?  I heard it from many kids today.  Memorization is all about repetition.  They are doing well with that skill.

We made it back into the computer lab today for biome work and have more time scheduled for tomorrow.  I'll do a couple more mini-lessons on editing and revising and then some should be getting ready to type out a final copy.  Slower researchers may have a little extra work to catch up. 

We worked with wedges this afternoon.  Wedges, not wedgies.  I was surprised that joke didn't come up today.  We cut clay with different wedges.  We also did some work with gears (wheels with wedges) and figured out an interactive Rube Goldberg.  Ask your child if they were able to successfully deliver the burger.

Thanks,

Mr. Shea
