Shaking!

We spent a lot of today working on the final drafts of our Thinking Map stories. Several students finished and bound them together as books, and the finished books will be part of our update at the School Breakfast on Tuesday. Even though we have already had our own Back-to-School Evening, please try to attend this event. You will get a more complete update on how your child is doing and you will be able to sign up for December conferences.

The big event today was the Shake Drill in the afternoon. This was a statewide simulation. It went pretty smoothly at Third Street though some of the students complained about how sunny and hot it was. Of course, they were not entirely happy about the rain yesterday. Some people are hard to please....

Tomorrow is our field trip. Warm weather is now predicted, so please pack a hat and some water for your child. We will be doing some walking through the chaparral, so long pants are probably better than short. Please make sure that the lunch is packed in a paper or plastic bag that can be easily carried. 

Homework:  Students lucked out today. My printer ran out of toner and I had no easy way to print out the math or other assignments. So, I told them if they were good I would not get too creative about networking my computer to another printer today. And, no surprise, they were great! Enjoy the evening.
