Thursday

The week is done! Enjoy the week-end. Today we finished birds and watched some really interesting videos on kiwis, penguins, bee-eaters, cardinals, and meadowlarks. We also started the mammal section by looking at the pictures the students brought. We tried to see if we could recognize the 11-12 year olds by their baby pictures. We concluded that when the picture was older, above the age of two, it was a lot easier to recognize the student. Then we discussed how stress, drugs and alcohol, and even meaness, can make people age more quickly.

On Monday we will read the section about mammals. Students are supposed to find out which birds cannot fly. It is also red-ribbon week. On Monday the students are to wear clothing that clashes, it is called mix-up day.

On November 4th, barring any unforseen incident, the 6th graders are taking a field trip to Logan.

On November 6th, we will be having our next test on A-30/A-80. Study early and avoid the rush!
