Notes

Wow!! I can't say enough about how awesome the museum was. All the teachers have been commenting on how much work the class did and how polished and beautiful their projects were. We celebrated today by spending the final 2 periods of the day outside, enjoying the sunshine and eating popsicles. 6S, you deserved it! I hope to put up a webpage of pictures and comments in the coming days.

Joke of the Day

Two robins were sitting on a fence post in front of a freshly plowed field. One robin said to the other "I'm hungry! Are you?" "Yes," said the other robin. "Why don't we go in this field and get some worms to eat." They went in the field and started eating. They ate until they were so full they could not even move. The first robin said "I can't move, lets just stay here and bask in the sun." "Ok," said the other robin. In a few minutes both robins fell asleep. Later that day the farm cat came up and ate both robins. When finished he remarked "I love Baskin Robins."
