Thursday, October 5, 2017 -- It has been too long

I apologize for the long delay in communicating. I came down with the double whammy of strep-throat and a worse than normal ear-infection. I still get ear-infections on a regular basis, and this one is a doozy.

Then being sick, not being 100% and the Dublin teachers "working to contract" -- it has made for some fast days of plugging holes in the boat.

What has been going on?

JAWS-A-THON
1. Please please please register your child on www.jawsathon.dojiggy.com  Even if you will be donating checks and/or cash rather than using the online payment system, having the child's information logged into our system saves the parent-volunteers logging and tracking all of the donations significant amounts of time.  It costs nothing to register your child, and it will save our hard work number crunching volunteers necessary time.
2. Please have them wear: a plain white, royal blue or black t-shirt, jacket or sweatshirt for our 9'ish performance in the morning. Please also have them wear plan pants or shorts bottom.
3. For our running time that starts at 1:20'ish, please have them wear sunblock, drink H2O throughout the day, a sizable breakfast and lunch and clothing&shoes appropriate for walking/jogging.

School stuff:
1. Narrative Writing -- the beginning of the year is all about writing about a personal moment. So we are working on that type of narrative.
2. The Constitution, voting rights, sit-ins and creating a voice within our government.
3. Larger multiplication and orders of Operations -- ask them to show you the tape diagram or generic area model. They are unique ways to multiply and dare I say an improvement on how we were taught.
4. Living and getting to Mars -- the students are working in teams to create a slide presentation about some of the early challenges we have in trying to live and get to Mars.

I'll post the homework below.

Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
