Gathering is tomorrow. The Explorers will be performing a short piece on The Star Spangled Banner at the beginning of Gathering.Gathering is held in the Multi-purpose Room at 8:20. I hope to see you tomorrow morning!



As you are aware, TOMORROW marks the first in a series of field trips this year to the Dash Point State Park Stream Study sites. Many thanks to those intrepid drivers who have volunteered to shuttle and chaperone our students tomorrow. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. We will be departing from Seabury at 1:00 and will be returning before 3:00. We will not be going every Friday. I will post the proposed field trip dates in upcoming days.

After school today, Mr. G and I went down to Dash Point State Park and scoped out the sites. We are very excited to start this project. There are significant changes in the stream sites since the huge winter storms of last year. These changes are a constant reminder of the power of nature. The new information we be learning at our upcoming Olympic Park Institute October field trip will be used in our Dash Point Stream Study scientific experiments. We're all looking forward to tomorrow. It should be a beautiful day.

Today we had a guest speaker. Be sure to ask your Explorer about "The Worm Man". Virtually every Explorer and Navigator was very interested in the hands-on scientific information.We viewed numerous long slimy worms and even potato bugs under the ingenious magnifier! Very cool. We also discussed the world's population, composting, recycling, and making a global difference.

FRIDAY FOLDERS will be going home tomorrow for all Explorers. All Navigators who have me for Social Studies and Math will also receive their Friday Folder.

Inside tomorrow's Friday Folder will be a Grade Pro sheet which will list all the assignments and grades your child has had the past 9 days. Grade Pro is very effective communication tool to help share information between the teacher/student/parent. I will be sending out a Grade Pro sheet every two weeks.

Enjoy the rest of today!
