GET YOUR GAME FACE AND GEAR ON TOMORROW!!

As you know in Science we have been talking about hibernation and torpor/dormancy. Well, today we had a very special guest Mr. Ricky Grewell. He is a farmer/rancher in Silesia and he came to explain to us a whole different type of dormancy. He explained to us about how he plants his winter wheat in the Fall, it grows to the point of germination, and then winter freezes it. At this point the plant goes dormant until spring. It is pretty amazing how all of these science concepts link to other science concepts. Many kids in her have expressed an interest in farming or ranching. This was pretty cool to hear it from a real live one. He even gave us a challenge and we will be conducting an experiment soon. Next week we will be venturing into the concept of migration.



We continued our S.S. state reports. The rest of the students will go tomorrow. They sure are learning a lot!

PE shoes need to be brought in tomorrow.

Tomorrow is wear your favorite team gear day. Kids need to bring in $1 to donate to the Rachel's Challenge Fund in order to participate. They may wear hats, jerseys, headbands, wristbands, and any other sport gear. Kids that donate AND participate in the fun will also earn $50 fake money from me tomorrow! BONUS!!!!

Lastly, ask your child what Rusty's feeling of the week is this week. Have them tell you what they are hopeful for. If they can do it, write the feeling in their planner for a $10 bonus at tomorrow's check in. Armani, Destiny, and Keyonna please do your Bully Byte posters for us to share tomorrow! Thanks.

Have a great night!
