Welcome Back from Thanksgiving Break!

I hope you all had a great time! I traveled 6 1/2 hours to Chico with my kids and the worms! The kids are fine, but the worms are great! I monitored their temperature and moisture, and kept them within the perfect limits. The worm castings smell nice and earthy, and I know they will make excellent soil for our Growing Food projects.

You have a lot of important work to do this week:

• Move and organize wood
• put in screws to planter box, remove bolts
• plant lettuce
• Get the bicycle parts we need from Main Street Bikes
• organize the bike tools and parts
• Begin working on the 4 new bikes we got from the Sea Train
• organize the brown and green waste containers, and prepare the food
• get videos from student computers
• fix printer- youtube search "hp 2400 won't print"
• teach students how to digitize documents
• update calendar on front board- Any Announcements?
• BLOG Post: What I did for Thanksgiving Break- EDITING.
• DAILY QUIZ- 10:35

We are going on a Week-Long Break!

Hi again!
My friends, you have gotten a lot done!

You finished the last layer of the planter box! Many of the teachers have told Mr. McKee and me that it looks great and that they are very impressed with you all!

You completed 2 more bicycles and took them back to the sea-train! There are only a few more bikes to go!

The Pro Tech Deck is coming along nicely!

Marcos' computer is set up!

Most of the recycling is empty!
