Mother Nature is Being Fussy

We have decided to postpone tomorrow's picnic to Monday. Monday's weather is supposed to be pretty terrific. Tomorrow shows a heavy chance of thunderstorms.

For part of the day tomorrow, we will be watching The Indian in the Cupboard with Ms. Fraher's class. The students may bring in a treat for the movie if they wish. They may also bring in games, including electronic ones. I explained that each student was responsible to prevent his/her own things from being lost, broken, or taken.

We will be doing a lot of cleaning tomorrow, so bookbags may come home quite full!
