What a Day!
Last Monday, we began publishing our first writing pieces. You would be amazed at how well spoken these authors were in presenting their work. Many had the audience laughing out loud or gasping for more when they learned the ending was a cliffhanger. Sadly, we had only just begun when the weather halted our progress. We will continue publishing this coming week. Several friends brought in science specimens and news articles to share. Though we had only one Morning Meeting, it was filled with new information and questions about space probes, endangered horses, and the Dumbo Octopus! Please continue exploring current events and news with your children. Many have already completed the minimum requirement for 1 news article and 1 journal entry by the end of September, and we are looking forward to the rest of those coming in to spur our discussions.
This Coming Week
Last week's blog post contains most of what we will be doing this week so I won't repeat everything. Our field study is Tuesday and we still need a couple of permission slips and payments. Please send those in tomorrow. Also, you might want to protect your child with some bug spray Tuesday morning.
** Lastly, if you are able, please send in a labeled Ziploc containing 20 pennies and 10 dimes for your child to use in math investigations.**
