Monday Notes: Today we made water wheels with Mrs. Albright. We learned about erosion, weathering, and hydropower. We read about comic book projects in schools in Time For Kids magazine. Most kids in 201 feel that comics are good reading material for school. We ended the day with our book buddies, making flowers out of tissue paper. Tomorrow’s the big field trip!
Tuesday Notes: We travelled back in time to 1876 today. We were pioneers at Honey Creek School. We hiked in the woods, worked on some seatwork, played a game outside and finished the day with penmanship. What was your favorite part of the field trip?

In the afternoon we worked on finishing up our lit. log covers. We are all into our City of Ember book. We ended the day in the computer lab, working on a WATER webquest. Great work, 201′ers!
