Another eventful day

Hello,

We had two major events today that pulled us out of our normal schedule.  We were visited by a performing artist who put on a one woman show about Harriet Beecher Stowe.  I'd write more about it, but the homework is for kids to write an article on this show or the afternoon presentation and I am sure some of them are going to run to this blog to get some easy lines.  Nope.  This afternoon we got a visit from a CREA representative.  She taught the class about adaptations through a couple of interactive activities.  Any further details on those events will have to come from your child.

The homework assignment is really cutting into what I would normally write about. 

Our Growstown field trip is scheduled for Thursday morning.  I'm still looking for a female chaperone.  This could be a challenging one to volunteer for, since you will be required to dress and play the role of a young 19th century school girl.  Please email me with any questions about this field trip.  The permission slip says we will be returning around 2:15, but I am sure we will be back a good half hour earlier than that. 

We used context clues to try to define words this afternoon. 

It is that time of year where it will be odd to have a day that fits our normal schedule.  I like the unpredictability of it all, but it sure makes for lots of loose ends. 

Have a good night.

Mr. Shea
