The Taste of Success!

Here are some pictures of you guys making your tasty rice balls! yum...

BBQ at the farm

Well, thanks to Doug and Nick's efforts helping to harvest the rice at the beginning of September, we were invited back to the farm for a Thank You barbeque with Hide and his family. It was a great barbeque, with everything except the meat being produced on the farm. We picked okra, green peppers and eggplants, dug up sweet potatoes, and made delicious rice balls from the new rice. It was a nice way to wrap up a fantastic experience!

Welcome, Aro!

2/ Triple Smart
Do at least 2 pages in your Triple Smart books (Ren and Sean don't worry about this homework). Finish English and Math first, then try the science. You might want to ask Mom or Dad for help if you can't understand what to do in the Science. Show me your pages next Saturday.

3/ Library Table
Please bring back any books you borrowed in July, and bring some more books to lend. Remember to write your name in the books you bring for lending.


See you next Saturday!

A Little Homework

Hi again, everybody -- did you read the post below this about the BBQ at the farm? Don't forget to read it, please!

On Saturday we'll be getting back into some regular study time, so I'd like you to do a little writing in your notebooks before you come to class. Write a few sentences about something fun you did this summer. Remember to give your story a title, and don't forget about capital letters for starting sentences and periods for finishing them! Check your dictionary if you don't know how to spell something.

I'm looking forward to reading your stories on Saturday!

Rice Harvest BBQ

Hi everybody! How was your summer? I want to hear all about it on Saturday!! By the way, I heard from Nick that he and Doug went to Hide's farm to harvest the rice at the beginning of September. They both said it was heavy and hard work -- but now that it's finished, Hide and his family have invited us all for a BBQ dinner on Sunday (this coming Sunday - Sept. 14) night as a thank you to all of us for our help planting and to Doug and Nick for their help harvesting. We are not sure yet what time it will all start (maybe 4 or 5 o'clock), but they need to know how many of us will come. Talk about it with your parents and let me know as soon as possible, ok?

Hope you can join us!
