What is this? The first week in November and it is 79 degrees out? Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a very interesting day back from the holiday weekend. The kids weren't too hyped up on candy, so we did manage to get quite a bit done. I need to quickly include a disclaimer regarding a science experiment we discussed in class today. In an effort to connect the idea that water expands when frozen, I asked the students if they had ever put a can of soda in the freezer. Many were very excited to explain that the can would explode and make quite a mess. A few kids said that they were going to go home and try it. I told them to put the can in a large Ziploc bag so that they wouldn't ruin any freezers! You've been warned, so watch out for junior scientists in action.
I did not send blue folders home today, and will not until next Monday. I did send home picture retake order forms with students who wanted them. They were also each given emergency ID cards. Please ask them for the cards, in case they neglect to give them to you.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- math 8.4 (pages 73 & 74)
- reading log
- study for tomorrow's science vocabulary quiz
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
