The Mean Season

Well, as I indicated on Friday, this week will be pretty hectic. Here's the rundown:

• Monday: We will be largely practicing in the gym for Tuesday morning's Veterans' Day program. Not the whole day, but we will have a practice during the fourth graders' specials time (which is right after ours), and then again later in the morning. 
• Tuesday: The actual Veterans' Day Program. Kids should look nice. 
• Wednesday: We go to the Palladium early on in the day, but then we will come back and have the rest of our day as normal. The kids should look nice this day also. Permission slips are due Monday morning. 
• Thursday: This day is pretty much normal, actually. 
• Friday: This is the day of the BizTown interviews. The kids will be trained (on Thursday) how to do a job interview. 

Throughout the week, you can expect to see homework coming home regarding at least one of the following: reading/writing, Social Studies (we will have a take-home test), economics (okay, this is also Social Studies, but it is the main part of our trip to BizTown). This is in addition to their normal spelling, math, and reading 20 minutes a night.
