Homework club cancelled for Tuesday

Hello,


I apologize for the short notice, but the homework club needs to be cancelled for tomorrow, Tuesday the 18th.  I have an after school IEP meeting scheduled.  It has been on my calendar for almost two months, but as I was making my way through conference week, I didn't look ahead to keep you informed.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience of rescheduling after school plans. 


Happy St. Patrick's Day, by the way.  A friendly student brought in some Rice Krispie treats for the occasion. 


Please check the school website about a one week delay in the practice testing for the Smarter Balance test.  The school was scheduled to start today. 


We had a special visitor today.  I never got permission to use her name online, but she gave a great little presentation on math in ancient Egypt.  We learned about right angles, pyramids, Egyptian numbers, and many neat tidbits regarding Egyptian life.  A big thank you goes out to that woman.  I hope to mention her name tomorrow. 


The skirmishes/battles at Lexington and Concord were the main focus of our afternoon.  It is funny how many different accounts I found reading this past weekend.  Even the books in my classroom offer many differing stories.  Half of the lesson was about comparing sources.


I have a few more conferences tonight, and then four more to reschedule from last Wed.  Let me know possible times and I will hopefully get you in this week.


Thanks,


Mr. Shea
