Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We have a wonderful day, full of some very creative writing. We were also treated to the second grade production of "The Little Red Hen". They did such a great job. We did a minor setback today, as one of our crayfish attacked and killed its tank-mate last evening. Nothing too gory, but the victor has been cannibalizing the deceased! The kids were fascinated by the events.

Friday brings us a spelling test for those who did not pass Monday's pretest, as well as brief area and perimeter quiz for the fifth grade students. We'll also be exploring the life of Chuck Close. Our first look at a living artist! The kids will then begin working on their giant self portraits, using Close's grid system as a model.

Tonight's work is keeping it simple.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
