Thursday

We are celebrating Halloween at school. The students are all dressed up and it is fun. In Science the students got their essays returned. Some did really well, some didn't follow the instructions and their grades show that.

We had a debate in class today. Half of the class were to support the idea of outlawing fishing so the number of fish could increase. The other half supported the idea that we should not outlaw fishing. We talked about endangered species and ways to protect them without harming humans. We discussed that one way to solve problems is to listen to both sides of the issue and then find ideas that will work out. We also discussed that there are some ideas that are non-negotiable, that there are no merging of ideas and we can only agree to disagree.

There will be a field trip on Tuesday for the 6th graders. We will have a test on Thursday covering Chapter 2 pages A36-A80 and the notes about invertebrates and vertebrates.
