Wacky Wednesday...


Okay, so we were not wacky today. Tomorrow is a different story. Students can choose between dressing wackily (is that a word) or dressing in their Sunday best.

Union Terminal is such a cool building and the Real Pirates exhibit is definitely a "must-see". As my group kept telling me, "Mrs. Putnam, you said the last thing was your favorite!" Time is always a factor, so unfortunately, we were unable to spend as much time as we would have liked in the special exhibit. Had we know about the glitch in the afternoon schedule...
Yes, we were supposed to see the Omnimax movie The Alps. Due to an unforeseeable error (theirs, not ours), a projectionist was not available to run the movie for our 12 o'clock showing. The powers-that-be tried to make it up to us by giving us access to both museums and re-entry to the Real Pirates exhibit. At least an effort was made. Thank you to the oh-so-very patient students and parents for rolling with the situation!

Assignments:
Reading-we read to chapter 18 in The Toothpaste Millionaire and completed the cheese and tomato layers of our reading sandwich.

Homework:
Packet

Tomorrow we will finish The Toothpaste Millionaire. All students are expected to take the AR test on this book on Friday. During science, students will invent their own paste using the knowledge and observations gathered from Tuesday's ingredient test.
