Friday


Can you name the parts of a seed? Our fourth graders can after dissecting swollen lima beans, separating the seed coat from the cotyledons and examining the embryo with hand lenses. Next we will continue the study of the life structures of plants.

Yes, today is 'pajama day.' Somehow, the fourth graders don't believe male teachers sleep in their jeans and sweaters.
Next Tuesday we will begin the MSP (measurement of student progress) which is the big standardized test for Washington's students. Earlier bed times and good breakfasts are recommended.
