Good Start to the Week!

Another good day in 5B! It sounds like science was quite a messy experience today...building layers and layers of soil and water?? Mrs. Halverson's hair was just about pulled all out by the end of the day with that crazy activity, but she said 5B handled themselves extremely well under the messy/crazy circumstances. That really shows good character, you guys! Being able to control yourself in new situations shows how sophisticated (huh...) you are! Keep it up.

A few students brought to my attention this morning that Dr. Norman Borlaug passed away this weekend. The field trip we have planned to his family farm is next Friday. This will make our visit even more special as we learn about his amazing accomplishments. To prove you checked the blog tonight, click on this link that shares a rap written by students sharing how important Dr. Norman Borlaug is and all he has done for our world. You should be able to listen to it as well. The beginning sounds a little funky, but I listened to it a few times and really liked what I learned and the rhythm it goes to.
