The pond unit wraps up, art night returns, and our class pet needs a name
Four weeks ago we carried twelve jars of murky water back from Miller
Pond and the room has not been the same since. The tadpoles have legs,
the science journals have opinions, and at least one student
has announced a career in herpetology. This is our last week
of observations before the release trip — details and
the permission slip are on page two, or jump straight to the
art night RSVP below.
Reminder
Early dismissal Thursday at 1:15 for teacher in-service. Buses run the early schedule; pickup is at the gym doors as usual.
The pond unit, week four
We measured, we sketched, we argued respectfully about whether tadpole
number seven is the same tadpole as last week (the consensus: probably).
Every student now keeps a field journal with dated entries — ask
your scientist to read you June 9th. It is worth it.

Our growth chart. Week four broke the scale we drew in week one.
Time-lapse: seven days of the tadpole tank in forty seconds.
Family art night returns May 28
The gym becomes a gallery. Every student has two pieces on the wall
— one pond study, one free choice — and the artists will
be standing proudly next to them. Drop in any time during the hour.

One tadpole is staying with us next year as our class frog. The
students nominated names, debate was vigorous, and these four
finalists survived. Families get the deciding vote — one vote
