Happy last full day of school. Remember we are out at noon tomorrow!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010








We had a great trip yesterday, it was HOT but we had a lot of fun. Students challenged themselves, and many of them went a great way past their personal goals. It was a fun cap to a fun year. Thanks for the loaner of your "blessings" over the past year. It was a joy to get to know them all.

The science review is due tomorrow. Geography test and ws are tomorrow.

Monday is field trip day. We are planning to leave at 7:30 please be here before that (7:20 should be good). Please let us know ASAP if your student is sick. I hope to be back by 3:00 but we may not make it back Please remember to send a lunch along, have your student wear tennis shoes. From what I understand pants are recquired for the high ropes course but the forecast at this time is 90 for Wautoma, where Camp Philip is located. I suggested that students may want to bring pants and shorts and change as appropriate.

Today we started a discussion about dating. We also learned about converting in the metric system. We then had a very long study time. Several students got a lot done, and many took the chance to ask some good Math questions. We also learned about the attempted terrorist attack in New York. We also learned about the phases of the moon and watched a neat animation. Finally we got to start our Shakespeare movie/musical. It is quite humorous.
