We were visited by some of our second grade friends while first graders came over from Coffin for step up day. Mrs. Collins' class spent an hour and a half with us this morning. We partnered up and read with them, did some multi-speaker poetry, and then co-wrote our own partner poems. Our class did a nice job of keeping them engaged. We went out for the last ten minutes for some Tom Foolery.
A note went home regarding a Sea Dog / Unum award that I will receive in a few days. Here is the note with a link for cheap seats.
I will be receiving an award from the Portland Sea Dogs at
this Friday’s game. It is a teaching
award given to nine teachers around the state.
An HBS parent nominated me and I am pleased to get to be throwing out
the honorary first pitch (with eight other teachers) at Friday’s game. If you are interested in going, here is a
link for three dollar tickets. The game
starts at seven. My on-field appearance
will probably be around 6:45. Thanks for
your support this year.

I hope some of you can make it. I promise to throw better than 50 cent did the other night at Chase Field.
Thank you to everyone who has responded regarding our Gettysburg trip. I need to remind you that this trip is not affiliated with the school. This is how many of you and myself are choosing to spend the first days of summer break. It is not a school trip.
Our field trip to Thomas Pt. Beach on Friday has a little wrinkle to it. We thought the cost of the trip was going to be covered by the parent group, but we didn't get the request in on time. If you could please send $1.50 in with your child any day this week, it would be appreciated.
Our step up day to the Jr. High seemed to go very well yesterday. I hope you talked to your child about it. It made me more comfortable as well. They will be in good, caring hands.
My mother found some old family letters written during the Civil War. She shared them with me last night and I shared some of them with the class today. They are heartbreakingly real.
We will have math tomorrow for the first time in quite a while. We need to regain some momentum before we close this year out. Geometry must be covered!
Have a good night,
Mr. Shea
