Well Developed Ideas Wednesday

Today's Poetry Performance was fantastic.  Our visitor from the Chicago Foundation for Education was so impressed by the kids' ability to articulate their ideas. Way to go 201!


This evening at home.....

• please look at the classwork and homework from lesson 11.4 again closely.  Make corrections if needed.  Don't forget to observe each angle carefully before you measure!   Draw some conclusions: Is it greater or less than 90 degrees?  What should the sum of these angles be?  This will help you determine where to look on your protractor, and will help you evaluate your findings. Does my answer make sense?  Ask yourself this question.   Please.   
• read over your line in the Water Cycle Readers Theater.   Can you add some feeling or emotion.  Each one of us has a small part.  If each small part is great, the whole package will be fantastic.
• read for pleasure for 30 minutes or more.  

Notes.......

• I have not been stamping Gold Cards.  I will try to get this done tomorrow.   Thanks for your patience.  Please continue to record your reading on the log.
• Please bring your script, sharp pencils, and a small bag for the trip tomorrow.   Kids will also bring a notebook.
• Lunch will be provided on both days.  Students who have dietary restrictions should be prepared!  Bring an alternate lunch just in case!  
• Parents who are joining us,  please arrive by 8:00 a.m..
• Please do not forget that electronic devices are not allowed.  Students may bring a camera, but it is not necessary. Phones may not be used as cameras.  If a student wants to bring a camera, perhaps Friday is the day to do this.
• Please wear comfortable clothes.  We will be working on the floor! If weather permits, we will also play outside.  Be prepared and remember that it is cooler on the Lake's Northshore.  Bring a jacket!
• Don't forget that we are taking the EOY MAPS Reading Test next Tuesday!
