The heat wave broke today, and everybody in room 19, both students and teachers, found things much, much more pleasant today. Indeed, everything was quite pleasant today. The students did reading as usual and we corrected our homework. Mr. Lawton led the students in a review of some of the basic ideas of plane geometry and polygons. After recess, Mr. Lawton also had the students do some experiments with magnets. You can see some of the interesting things they were doing below. Students continued working on the play which we will be presenting next month. This play, based on Native California sources, will involve students in all aspects of the creative process. It will be great!
Speaking of great things, we will be having our field trip tomorrow to see the filming of American Gladiators. As parents already know, the students will be returning to school late, probably close to 3:30. Please be sure your child has a sack lunch.
Home Studies: (1) Do the Open Court packet. This covers the last part of the "Anne Frank" story and the beginning of the "Music and Slavery" selection. (2) Do the math packet. This covers polygons, area and perimeter, equivalent fractions, and division.
