Just a reminder that the Lunar Cycle Worksheet for the month is due on Monday. Students should have pasted or drawn the phase of the moon as they observed it each night. On the back of the page, they should have listed the name of the phase for each date.
I just got an email from Mr. Testa at Walden Media. They have power again, so the trip is on!
A notice went home today about the C.U.E. reports. The notice mistakenly names an information night on December 12. The correct day should be December 15.
This week is the field trip to Walden Media. I am very excited about it. Thanks to all who volunteered to drive. We are all set. Do not forget to pack a lunch on the day of the field trip.

I added a couple of links to online typing programs. They are to the right of this post under Links. One is called Dance Mat Typing, and the other says Free Typing Game.
We have a VERY exciting field trip coming up in December. Walden Media has invited the fifth grade to come visit them in their Burlington office. Walden Media is responsible for such movies as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Prince Caspian, and Bridge to Terabithia. At the office, students will compare and contrast a scene from one of their films with the same scene from the book the movie was based upon. They will also work in small groups to create a trailer using Power Point about the first chapter of a new book that the company has published with Penguin. Look for a permission slip early next week. If you would like to explore Walden’s web site, follow the link.
