Cornhuskers

Hello,

You never know what you might do at this job. Our class got the opportunity to husk some corn for tomorrow's lunch. Each child husked 2-4 ears. Many first-timers, so thank you to the HBS cafeteria to putting it out there.

We took the first math test of the year.  19 of 21 met the standard, which makes me confident that we can move forward as a math class without grouping. Most mistakes were based on a lack of test-taking skills. We need to learn to check our work, read carefully, answer all questions and make sure our answers make sense.

We made some three dimensional land features using clay this afternoon. This was another step toward our island creations, which we will do next week.

We practiced our spelling words.  Test tomorrow. I noticed how many students wrote words incorrectly to study. Next week, I'll recheck words and sign off on the assignment book.

I developed a sore throat during the day. I'm going home early and sleeping. I need to nip this quickly.

Thanks for reading,

Mr. Shea
