Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a very nice day. The fourth grade was able to hear from and correspond with their pen pals in Spain, while the fifth grade began their work on our replica of the solar system. Papier mache is a blast! We had a good laugh when we realized that if we were to recreate the planets to scale that Jupiter would be 12 feet across in comparison to our little 14 inch Earth. At least we aimed high! The kids are getting psyched for NASA next Tuesday, and we are nearly set to launch. Bad pun day, eh?

The Investigative Questions for the upcoming science experiments are looking promising. Each student got their question back from me today with leading questions and concerns as to how best approach their next steps.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

Fourth-

- Saxon 103
- Number the Stars vocab
- study biomes for tomorrow's quiz
- read chapter 3 of Number the Stars

Fifth-

- Saxon 103
- Willy Freeman vocab
- read chapter 3 of Willy Freeman

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
