Welcome back

Hello,

It was an easy day back. We jumped right back into geometry.  A fun Count Zoid's Castle poster is their math homework. We will continue our discovery of quadrilaterals tomorrow.

Students were treated to bicycle safety in P.E. class.  Local rider, Bicycle Bob, taught them the rules of the rode.

Wally the Walrus had a fun time at the Banks household over the weekend.  The Wilson's need to get ready for him this coming weekend.  He's a polite house guest.  He's quiet and doesn't eat much.

Our reading and writing log competition went over pretty well.  Over 12,000 minutes of reading and writing were logged in!  Big congrats to Sid for putting in a ridiculous amount of minutes both reading and writing.  I look forward to reading his story about Pearl Harbor.

The winning team chose to watch The Goonies.  I can't remember if they voted for an after school movie viewing or watching it over a number of lunches.  Either way, I think it is rated PG so a permission slip will be coming home soon.  The winning team did vote to allow members of the losing team that logged over 360 minutes the privilege of also seeing the movie. Nice work.

We are going to be doing a lot of biome work for the rest of the week.  Most of the research should be done to start posters and dioramas tomorrow.  Pat will be in to help.

The new MEA testing starts school wide tomorrow. The art/music room is full of laptops, so I think our art class will be in the gym tomorrow afternoon. The library is also full of laptops ready to go. Ms. Sherrill will be a traveling librarian in the coming weeks. She is graciously taking her library skills class on the road and will be coming to our class Wednesday morning.  Our first MEA test is Friday afternoon at 2:05.

Have a great afternoon.

Mr. Shea
