Wednesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had some fun today playing with the concept of static electricity. If the kids are running around trying to shock you tonight, I apologize. We'll continue our exploration of electricity and magnetism during these last days of schools with some great hands on activities and experiments. I'll post some pictures if I remember to bring in my camera!

We got into a heavy discussion yesterday regarding the bombing of Hiroshima. The kids were amazed and horrified by the before and after images of the city, realizing the power of atomic energy as a weapon. We are midway through the story of Sadako. The kids have found the material to be enthralling.

I know that several of you committed time and energy into yesterday's staff appreciation luncheon, and I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you. The lunch was amazing!

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- math 27.4 (continuing with perimeter and area)
- science practice book pages 2-9 (most were completed in class)

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
