A Day at the Marine Science Center

~We had fun at the Marine Science Center today.  We learned about chemical change with Mrs. Rowan and Mrs. Carvalho, we studies artifacts with Ms. Hollaway, studied adaptations with Mrs. Goodman and Ms. Scharf, and did some hands on fun stuff with Mr. Gibbons, learned about Renaldo the Ghost (which Mr. Gibbons knows is a scam)..... sadly, due to thunder and lightning we could not go on the beach..... we still had fun though..... Congrats to Dawn for winning the prize for best shell bucket!  Scroll down to see a ton of pictures from the Marine Science Center.  You can click on pictures to make them bigger!

Reading Kick Off

~J.J. the Jaguar visited us today as part of our Reading Kick Off!  He came in his camper and picked up a book from each class.  

Maniac Magee & Inferring

~Wow, we are really cruising through Maniac Magee!  It seems like yesterday when he ran away from Dot and Dan's.  We have really had to make a lot of inferences in this novel about what is going on.  Based on the Treasure Hunts, the APES are really getting the things that Jerry Spinelli is trying to get across.  So far he has been run out of Two Mills by both Black and White gangs, run out if Bridgeport by his aunt and uncle, and he has become quite the runner.  We should finish our first novel next week...WOW!

Homeroom Mother & STAR Student

~Our homeroom mother came by to have lunch with us!

~Who will be STAR Student?  Gibby awaits with a treat bag and the STAR trophy! Tried to get a picture of Goody but she was out getting her nails done..... Oh well!

Rest in Peace Mr. Grayson

~Rest in Peace Earl Grayson!  You lived a great life!  You struck out Willie Mays...... you kept the zoo clean, and you gave a young homeless orphan a sense of belonging......  Some of the Ape boys were overcome with sadness...... What will Maniac do next?  Will he give up?  Will he go back to Dot and Dan... or the Beales home?
