Sixth graders visit

Hello,


We had an informative visit from some sixth graders this morning.  Two students came into our room and answered questions for over a half an hour.  They were knowledgeable and I know the kids were happy about the visit. 


Tomorrow is the Thomas Pt. Beach field trip.  Students will be learning about horseshoe crabs.  We will break into four groups and rotate every half hour.  I will be working with Ms. Palopoli on the beach with the horseshoe crabs.  Please remind your child to bring boots (or water shoes if no boots) and $1.50 if they haven't paid.  Adult chaperones are $4.00 each (as are the teachers).  Sunscreen may be needed if the sun comes out.  Bug spray may also be something to think about bringing. 


We got into the computer lab today to type our Dare Essays.  I hope we can finish tomorrow afternoon.  Bowling is on the horizon.


We worked with pattern blocks in math in learning about perimeter.  We still have a way to go to nail that down. 


Our Gettysburg trip is looking good.  I don't think we will need a van.  We currently have 13 kids and 10 adults planning to be there, including our old classmate who moved to Virginia.  This trip is not a school trip.


I need to run to go to a teacher retirement gathering.


Good night.


Mr. Shea
