The Day After Makoshika!

Well our field trip was absolutely amazing. I don't think that many of the kids knew that hiking was that physical because many mentioned that they didn't think there was going to be so much walking! :) I forget sometimes we aren't in the Pacific Northwest anymore and kids here don't go hiking all the time. :) A group of pictures from the trail will be coming soon!

Today I gave the kids their current grades as of this morning. Many of them were not too pleased to see that result. I think many of them are shocked that their missing assignments are making such an impact on their grades. I guess it is a learning lesson for many of them. I hope that all of the missing work they have is going to come in tomorrow because tomorrow is the last day I can accept late work for the grade book. Imani, Jeremiah, Semarah, Theo, Dani, Kirsten, and Cole all have missing assignments. I really hope they come in!

Tomorrow students have their make-up work due, Workbook pages 211-214, and their human body pocketbook. This pocketbook is something that we have worked on for a month and a half now for science and is a significant portion of their grade. If students do not return this, their grade will surely become an F. Students have been given time to work on the activities EVERY time we worked on science. Some students chose not to make very good use of that time and therefore have a lot to complete.

I can't wait to see you all tomorrow for our last full Friday of the year! Holy Cow! Bring in all that work, study those spelling words and rest up! Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler (thank goodness) and so it should be a fun day!
