We’re heading in to the final weeks of school, but there is still much left to do. We’re starting new play groups this week, all based on classic short stories (The Nose, The Open Window, and Rikki Tikki Tavi). Whether or not we’re able to perform them will depend on student commitment. Speaking of classics, be sure to check out the Kafkaesque paragraphs the students recently posted on their individual web pages. The four-day school week has left us hopelessly behind in our survey of history. With just 15 school days remaining, we still have an entire century to cover! We’re also trying to work in some hands-on science during these last few weeks. In fact, the Science Fair is among our list of important dates:

Fri., May 28, Science Fair Projects due in classroom
