Hello,
Sorry for no blog post yesterday. It got late and I'm staying down in Georgetown for the week. My wife's family has a log cabin overlooking the crashing waves of the Atlantic. It is pretty great, but it is tough to get there before it gets dark. I'm not making it tonight.
We've had a couple solid days. Multiple digit multiplication and games of 99 have highlighted our math classes. Please ask your child to show you 99. It is a great game to work on addition skills.
We have been making atoms out of colored pins that we are sticking into cardboard squares. Your child should definitely be able to tell you what the atomic number stands for and what the atomic mass means. Make sure they ask me if they are still unsure.
We went outside for fifteen minutes of our silent reading today. It was so nice out, we couldn't pass it up.
I let them in on a poorly kept secret. The plan is to go to Plimoth Plantation on Wed, Oct. 21. I passed in the plan to admin today and should have the final costs approved by tomorrow. If so, an information and sign up sheet will go home tomorrow. We will be leaving at 5:30 in the morning, but should be back by 5:30 in the afternoon. Each class will have room for five chaperones on the bus. We will allow more chaperones, but we would need you to drive. The buses hold 56 people. That is 28 per class. Let me know if you are interested. Financial help will be provided if costs are tough for you to come up with. I am so thankful that our car washes were successful. Those really helped with our final tallies.
No school on Friday for teacher meetings. Always more fun with kids, but I hope to learn a few things. No school on Monday either. Enjoy the long weekend.
I'll write tomorrow, but probably won't on Thursday after homework club. I'll be jetting off to Georgetown.
Have a good night.
Mr. Shea
