Ya Basta

Enough already! It’s time for a break from the rain. The ground needs to dry out and the students need to get to go outside for recess and lunch. Or maybe the teacher needs them to get to go outside….

We started on the Open Court reading test today. We’ll be doing more of this over the next two or three days. We finished off the art project. Well, actually most of us finished it up. A few students will be taking this home tonight. We read a chapter of Island of the Blue Dolphins. We talked about Jedidiah Strong Smith and the first Americans to come overland to California. And we finally we reviewed polygons.

On a sad note, I received news that the California Dance Institute program is off – at least for now. Friends of Third does not have sufficient funding for this at this time. There will be a letter home about possibly funding it through fourth grade donations. I guess that will come home on Friday.

I had to cancel homework club today because I learned I was having unexpected company for dinner. So it’s off to Ralphs. Joy….
