Week 8!

Hello Masters and families,

I sure hope you had a tremendous time getting to the "heart" of things this week! Thanks to Mrs. Dees for the super science activities that she supplies us with each week. We missed our resident dissector, Mrs. Matthews!

Rememer that our average resting heart rate was 79 bpm. That is a normal heart rate for a group our age. Now, here are the exercise heart rates for you to average... 94, 68, 121, 83, 101, 113, 114, 115, and 116. Bring in the exercise average for lots of memory marbles on Week 9.

You all played the tin whistle quite well this week. Keep practicing, trying to gently blow into the whistle making a sweet sound. We should be able to play "Mary had a Little Lamb" with few mistakes on Week 9. I found the Star Wars theme that we can learn to play. May the force be with us!

The presentations were interesting this week. I just loved hearing about places that you all visited and some of your family traditions. Thank you to Anna, Cara, Grace, Maren, and Mary Blake. I look forward to hearing from Joseph, Macy, Rebekah, and Hope. Rachel...you can present if you are ready. If not, you can jump back in on Week 10.

Please review each week all of our Memory Work. Since we have neglected to do so the last couple of weeks, I am planning on spending a little time at the beginning of class and at the end of class for review. This will be a great time to show off your memory skills, as well as your basketball skills! It will also be a great time to fill up that pitcher!

You all light up my life! It is such a blessing to be able to spend a little part of each week with you. When our time is up...I always wish we had more! You all have a great rest of the week...

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns...
Mrs. Black
