LOL!!! Munchkins, get those leave collected and those data tables completed for next week. No rocket science, here. Collect a leaf and note the items for each leaf and tree before moving onto the next tree.
Enjoy the weekend. See you on Tuesday.

Should I Post My Units?
Currently, we are creating a leaf collection. To do so, we need to learn a little background and then proceed to collect leaves, according to directions. Well, here I have kiddoes that went out and gathered leaves and placed them in ziplock baggies or something as such.
Where in the agenda do these kids have written to collect leaves? Everything in due time, folks. You would not have your kid cross a street without looking both ways, first, would you?
Therefore, I went over the field packet the munchkins will use this weekend, and, tomorrow, I will take them outside the practice how to use that packet in this assignment.
Think of my class as a jigsaw puzzle. Perusing the entire unit is like looking at the completed puzzle illustrated on the box cover. The actual puzzle needs to be assembled.
Have a great night, folks.

I am so tired, but, delighted with my new sixth graders
What a pleasure, it was, to work with my newbies, today. I actually got through with two lesson plans with better retention. We got to joke around and play. I am so tired. I'm gettin' old, but, boy its a good tired. I adore this class.
Although they have a homework assignment due on Friday, most of them finished it with me, in class. It's in their binder, check it out.
Have a great night, folks.

WE HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN! TOMORROW?!?!
They were nervous, the incoming sixth grade, some, even terrified. Some were told Mr. Z is nice, others that he is an ogre. Some of the cherubs were fearful of being the little fish in the big pond. And, all along, those teachers heaped information after information on these children that would make any adult grimace in complete confusion.
We gave them a schedule that was short of being a highly-secret code, then, we gave them lockers and combinations, then, we put them in groups and asked them to go to lunch at this time or at that time. Then, we placed them strange related arts rotations and gave them a tour of the building. INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!!
What a sweet group of kids. Way too much information to absorb in a short time span. It will be okay. You will quickly get into the swing of things.
