WooHoo Toot Toot!

Hello. What an amazing concert today! Trust me and my ears...they came a LONG way in a short time. Amazing talent from both them and Mr. Goodheart! If you missed the concert you can see the recorded version at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-you-better-believe-network. So cool! Mr. Goodheart's cousin (?) is also a music teacher in another state so they tuned in and watched his concert live. LOVE IT!!

On Friday, we will be watching the movie HOOT. It ties into our environmental/endangered animal studies in science. Students may bring a drink of their choice. I will provide the popcorn. I owe them for all their AWESOME sub behavior last month!!! If anyone has the DVD of this movie could you please lend it to me tomorrow. Otherwise, I will go rent it. Thanks!!

In Social Studies we have been touring different states found in the MW region. Today we stopped off in Detroit, Michigan and read about Henry Ford. Last week we oovooed in with Patrick from Michigan and he told us that Detroit is famous for the car industry. So, we made our own Model T cars with I must say some major improvements: flames, peace signs, spiky wheels, and all. Come check out the hall display. Yesterday, we stopped off in Kansas. We learned about cowboys and prairies. We sang the song, Home Home on the Range. Then we got into groups and created new verses for the song. As you can hear below, they are quite funny and since when is my class shy????

Pennies for the planet is rocking!!! We have collected over 40 dollars in pennies!! We are making a huge difference in the Everglades Pather's life!! WE could save the species!! Keep looking under those couch cushions! :0)

Have a wonderful evening!
