It's great to be back!!! I think I'm finding out that I need to do my post before I leave school. I didn't try to post anything during ISTEP or while we were at Bradford Woods, but since we've been back, I've tried from home and, since we are on dial-up, keep getting kicked off or timed-out. I'm sorry for not posting, but now we're getting back on track.

The Bradford Woods trip was a huge success. The kids had a great time and learned some valuable lessons about teamwork, cooperation, and collaboration. It was great to watch them pull together to accomplish their tasks...even if they all did end up in the lake!

Our next field trip is to the IRT and the permission slip was sent home with the students yesterday. It is imperative that if your child wants to attend this that the permission slip and money for the ticket (which is non-refundable) be returned no later than October 16. I will be turning in our reservations shortly after dismissal that day, so everything will be locked in.

In class we are continuing our study of culture and today watched a United Streaming video on the elements of culture and how cultures have differences and similarities.
