Jesse learns about hurricanes

Today we had a visit from our favorite meteorologist, John Gumm from Local 12 News. Mr. Gumm does a great job helping us understand very complicated weather concepts. Here you can see him showing Jesse how hard it would be to read a forecast during a hurricane (Mr. Gumm looks like he is having lots of fun with his leaf blower). Be sure to ask your child to help to demonstrate for you what happens when a cloud can no longer hold its water!

Tomorrow is our Valentine's party. Thanks to all those who are sending in snacks and treats. We will be watching Hairspray since its story goes along with our recent novel unit. Please be sure to return the note giving permission to watch the movie since it is rated PG. Call if you have any questions!!

For those who are interested, we are going to meet at the movie theater on Friday afternoon at 4:50 to see the Spiderwick Chronicles. The movie is about an hour and a half long. The price of the movie is $7.00. Feel free to meet us there for the show.

Conferences are next Tuesday and Wednesday. Tomorrow I will send home the confirmation notes for those students who turned in their notes this week. Please call if you have not received a confirmation.

Enjoy the 4 day weekend. Mr. Gumm is calling for the possibility of snow on Sunday! Go out make Presidential Snowmen on Monday!
