This is a busy week. On Tuesday, students will enjoy a COPAP performance in the morning and in the afternoon, they have their classroom speech contests. On Wednesday morning, the 5th-8th grade is attending the Magic Flute at the Grand. On Thursday, they have the 5th-8th grade speech competition in the morning and after that are traveling to the Miles-Lane school in Bucksport. Students will be eating lunch at Miles-Lane, helping them start their greenhouse plants and working on trellises. There is no charge for lunch. Students will be traveling by bus and will return in time for dismissal.
The praying mantises continue to grow and we look forward to being able to release some of them into the greenhouse.
The 6th grade students have moved on to their last math unit for the year. When they finish this book, we will do a review of the year and have a final, cumulative test. In science, we are still gather data on our “mystery sites.” Based on photoperiod data and location clues, many students feel they know their location. We will wrap this unit up on Friday. In social studies, students have honed their map skills and are able to use longitude and latitude to locate cities and geographically significant spots.
This week is supposed to be rainy. It will be good for our gardens.
