I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act. Bill Gates



Happy Birthday Taryn!!! The BIG 10 today!!! She had a blowout at her bake sale today! Yummy, yummy cupcakes!!! And, thanks for the juice to wash it down with. I hope you do something fun tonight to celebrate!

It was brought to my attention today that there have been some issues with the content on the blog. I am so sorry if I offended anyone. That certainly was not my intention. I feel horrible that I may have done so. I hope that whenever this happens, that you and I can sit down and talk about it. So many times things happen that just need to be clarified. I ask that you please give me a chance to do so before involving the principal or higher. I certainly would like the opportunity to explain any situation to any parent. Again, I apologize.

Homework tonight is to read Scholastic News and complete the back page. These are always high interest and fun to read. Read them together, or they can go at it alone.

Some students have unfinished work from class today as well. All work is due tomorrow morning. They may always ask for more time, but they will be fined the standard $20 fee.

We have PE tomorrow. Please help to remember those shoes.

The off-site evacuation went awesome. We were out of the building and at the Lillis Center in 12 minutes! The kids did great!

We read another chapter in Fallen Rock. Mr. Merical will be here THIS Thursday. Today, Fallen Rock collected two more items to put into his pack. Ask your child what he collected AND where they collect them. If they can tell you a pouch of water from the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon and another seashell from the Pacific Ocean then write WATER/SHELL in the planner for $10 tomorrow.

Have a wonderful night!
