UPDATE.... I have just found out that my last day here will be the day of the track meet.
Track and Field is in full swing. This week is our last week for rotations and Tuesday (right after the kids have a long weekend) is our all day track meet. If your child runs the 800m or the 1500m, these two races will take place this week with Mrs. Linfitt. Thursday at 9:00 for the 800m and Friday at 9:00 for the 1500.
Wednesday, May 20 is the Zone 1500s (which take place here at Parkcrest), and Friday, May 22 is the Zone track meet up at TCC. This year the District track meet is on Tuesday, May 26. Because the turnaround time is so tight between the Zones and the Districts, it means that your child (should they make the Zones) will be bringing home one permission slip for both meets. Even if they didn't make the Districts as we just don't have the time to send home two different ones. They will need to know if they made the Districts or not when they come home Monday. If your child is a 200 m runner at either of the two meets up at TCC, they will need to be driven up as those races start at 9:00 and the bus doesn't make it in time. This will be the first year I will miss these track meets :-(..... I wish everyone well!
We are working on plotting coordinates in math so that we can do transformations with the cartesian plane (sounds fancy right? :-). In L.A. we are carrying on with the novel study. For Science we are wrapping up Simple Machines and the new person will be doing Diversity of Life. In HACE we are beginning a project on Careers. In PE it is all track all the time right now. For Art we are working on a Mother's Day project (shhhhhh) so hopefully they remember to bring it home on Friday. Whew.
