Solar System , Tulip Time ,Health Talk, and Sturgeon Release

The kids have done a great job selling Sturgeon Wristbands so far this week.  We have raised over 100 dollars already!  We need about 120 dollars per year just to feed the sturgeon as we need order a special kind of food online.  We will also need replacement filters, a new water testing kit, and we’d love to have an actual top to our tank instead of whiteboards.  We have never had a budget for this project.  It has all been out of pocket, or donations.  So thank you for all you do to support the cause!   We have been learning about the Solar System and space.  The kids are going to Mrs. Greshaw for activities each afternoon, and I have been teaching life science to Mr. Carrell’s class.  We will continue this schedule for the next couple of weeks.  Tulip Time 1/2 days are scheduled for next Wed. and Thurs.  We return to a full day on Friday.  Coming up next week we will continue to review for Unit 7 Math test on Algebra, Coordinate Planes, and Order of Operations.  I am planning to have the kids take the math test on Wed. morning. 

Also, the “health talk” will be next Friday May 8th at 2:15pm.  The girls will be in Mrs. Greshaw’s room and the boys will be in my or Mr. Carrell’s room.
