New BASE schedule

Poor Mrs. Beard had 36 kids in her pre-BASE SSR class. I opted to switch to the first lunch and take half her kids. To do that, I had to move 4 or 5 kids from my SSR to Mrs. Pulizzi's room. That way, I had lunch from 11:10 to 11:40, while the other sixth grade teachers continue with second lunch, from 11:25 to 11:55. So, I get half of Mrs. Beard's kids from 11:40 to 11:55 and then switch some kids around for my regular BASE class from 11:55 to 12:25.
If you think that is confusing, you should see our class rosters for BASE!

Change in plans
For several weeks I have been trying to find a way to cut-out both ends of tin cans for an experiment. Today's cans have a curved bottom that does not allow can openers to work. Must be a safety thing. Well, I give up. Despite buying hammers and 2x4s, I have to shelf this project. Instead, I am moving to the next lesson - porosity. It is Geology Lab Notebook 2 on my website.

Have a great night, folks.
