Weekly Message for June 7-June 11

Posted: June 8, 2010

Only three weeks to go!  Where did the year go? I am excited to report that this week will be our final week of our chicken mummification process.  We will be wrapping up our chickens and digging our hole to bury them in.  I can't wait to finish this 6 week process, and hopefully this will be an activity that my students will always remember. As well this week, we are starting to learn all about the digestive system of the human body for science.  I have a passion for knowledge about the human body, and I am hoping that my passion rubs off on my students.  It is a fascinating machine, and through the next 3 weeks the students will learn all about all of its different mechanisms. Next week is our class field-trip to Camp Sheldrake on Friday June 18th.  Each student is asked to bring in $5 to help cover the cost of the bus trip and the camp registration. I wish all my students the best of luck trying to get through these next three weeks.  I know they would rather be outside on these nice days, but it is my goal to make the last three weeks unforgettable for my students!  Hopefully this way the days will not go by so slowly!
