Surf City Nursery was kind enough to donate several flats of ready-to-plant tomato plants. Each student was given a plant today that should be planted into an area that receives full sun exposure. Be sure to keep the ground moist until tomatoes appear. Once tomatoes start to grow...stop watering the plant. If you continue to water the plants after they produce tomatoes, the flavor will become watered down.
We spent today finishing the STAR exams! I am so glad to be done with these. I am sure that the class is thrilled as well. We also spent time reviewing expectations for WWII reports, specifically the dedication, table of contents and title page. We will review bibliographies and and transcriptions of interviews on Friday. I will be collecting "Sadako" packets on Friday, and completed science packets early next week. We will not be testing on this science or social studies units.
The kids are continuing their efforts in producing some really cool poetry. Today's subject, "the animal in me", has offered up some memorable work.
Friday brings us a mellow celebration to mark the successful passing of the 2007 STAR tests. We'll be writing poetry, folding origami cranes for the Sadako Peace Memorial and watching a documentary.
Respectfully, Mr. B
