Fast Week!

I think this week flew by. For homework try to come up with a researchable topic for Genius Hour. If you have any questions about your research topic let me know in person or on the blog. Track and field on Monday--be prepared. If you haven't brought in or created your props for SMA get on board with that. I've seen some of your work so far for SMA and looks brilliant! Keep at it. Have a great weekend and stay dry.

Hello

We might be doing high jump tomorrow with Mr. Rooke; however, he only agreed to do it if it rains. The forecast predicts all day rain--so let's hope.

Nothing Due on my end. We start Health soon. Have a great evening and try to get outside--it's not too bad now. By the way,  it was good to see everyone so attentive as you collaborated with your Stop Motion Animation sets.

OUR BOY, Anthony came across this link for STOP MOTION ANIMATION: IT'S WORTH A WATCH.  Awesome pointers.
