Notes:

6S, welcome back from break. We are slowly putting our classroom back together and are starting our study of farms and farming. After spending the last couple of months in the library and classroom, researching and writing, we'll get to spend some time outdoors finding out how some of our food gets produced.

Tomorrow, we'll be going to the Museum of the African Diaspora. It's a chance for us to learn about our connection to the continent.

Joke:

Two brothers John and Mike went fishing, every time John threw his hook he caught a
fish but Mike was very unlucky. By the end of the day John had caught more than
twenty fish but Mike had caught nothing. Next day Mike woke up very early in the morning, dressed in John's clothes and carried John's hook. He went to the river and sat where John was seating yesterday. He threw the hook and waited. Darkness
cleared and the sun rose, after about 4 hours of his waiting a fish popped out and asked him "where is John?"
