There is no homework!

Except read!  Reading is very important.

Today was kind of like our normal Friday.  We had our math centers in the morning, did some review, and then we took our battery of quizzes in the afternoon.

We had a really great discussion about Invictus.  We learned how Nelson Mandela kept this poem with him in his cell, and we also learned how Timothy McVeigh talked about how this poem was important to him as well.  We reached the conclusion that poetry is what you make it, and different people get different things out of poetry, and honestly just literature in general.

So why was today so short?  This is because tomorrow is really just a fun day for the students at school.  We are going to spend our morning watching a movie and sharing some snacks, and then we are going to have our Field Day in the afternoon.

Students are allowed to bring a pillow or stuffed animal to make themselves comfortable during the movie if they like.  They may also bring a snack to share or one for themselves.

Please make sure that students come dressed appropriately for field day.  We will be outside and doing physical activities for a good 2 hours, so I recommend a good t-shirt and shorts/pants.  Also sneakers please!  A hat and sunscreen wouldn’t hurt either.  I will have water but if students would like to bring their own, that’s fine.
