Hi everyone!!! It's been an extremely busy week here at Brumby. First off, I want to brag on the girls. I was sick Tuesday and Wednesday with a stomach bug. The girls were wonderful with the sub. Especially Wednesday, when we had two 45 minute duck and cover tornado drills. Thank you so much my lovelies!
This week I introduced a little bit of our new math unit. We are moving on to decimal multiplication and division. That will continue the week after Jekyll. We finished our latest novel, Esperanza Rising. We started our new novel, Number the Stars. Its the story of a Danish family who helps their Jewish friends escape the Nazis. It is a wonderful story! In social studies we will continue our study of World War II. The day after we return from Jekyll Island, we will be watching a movie called "The Boy In the Striped Pajamas". It is rated PG13. I am sending home a permission slip today. Your daughter can bring it Monday morning if she is going to Jekyll, or Thursday if she is not. If I don't get a permission slip back, she will not be able to watch it, even if you don't mind her watching PG13 movies.
Today was our 2nd annual Ellis Island Day. The kids did a great job with their costumes, and this hands on type learning is super beneficial for them. Thank you to all the parents who came to volunteer today. I will have some photos for you after the Jekyll trip.
We leave for Jekyll MONDAY!!!!! I'm so excited we were able to raise the money to go. This trip is a once in a lifetime experience for each and every student, and I cannot wait to spend 3 glorious days at the beach with my girls learning all the cool science curriculum we will be learning. I will be taking my camera with me, so if you want a copy of my pictures, send in a blank disc after the trip, and I will get them copied for you. I will remind you again after the trip. Please remember to be here NO LATER than 5am Monday. Please make sure that your daughter does not bring any electronics other than a camera and phone. They will not be able to bring them with us. Finally, remember, no money will be allowed either. This is going to be a great trip. The weather is going to be PERFECT!
Finally, the talent show is tonight. As head of the talent show committee, I can tell you that this year's show is going to be great! It cost $2 for students and $3 for adults. The show is from 6:30-8:00. Pizza and refreshments will be sold. I hope to see you all there!
Have a great weekend and see you BRIGHT AND EARLY Monday!
