Monday and the week

Howdy all, and welcome to the seventh to last week of school. Yes, we're counting down the days at this point.

Green Folders are making their way home today. You'll notice that the work that is coming home is decreasing in quantity. It has to do with the fact that we are working on larger, on-going units at this point in the year that I do not collect until we complete. Therefore, there will be weeks where you get a surplus of returned work, and others, such as this week's and last's, that are light. I would still encourage folks to review the returned material on a weekly basis, as I will not be sending home progress reports this trimester.

Today brought us our first look and experiment with the rocks and minerals unit. Tne unit will run about three weeks before we get into waves, wind, and water as factors of weathering and erosion.

Tomorrow brings us to the final book of the year that we'll study as a class. The book, Farewell to Manzanar, was written by local author Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, explores the struggles of a Japanese-American family during WWII.

The students are responsible for the following tonight:

-Green Folders
-Reading Log
-Math 101 (all)
-continue with science and WWII projects

Respectfully, Mr. B
