1 Check, Repair, and Turn in the Worksheets about conversion from yesterday
2 Activity Length Lab due today at the end of the period. This assignment was not finished by many so those of you who did not finish today will need to squeeze it in during tomorrow's Measurement Activity.
I got to go to a good friend's 70th birthday party (great ribs) in Gilroy and then the Stanford Duke Game that evening. Wearing Duke gear at Stanford Stadium was really interesting. I saw Drew and Kendra, two former students, the Messners and Mr. Reynolds. When I got home, I feel asleep going up the stairs to bed.
Sunday at church there was an acknowledgement and praying for teachers. I will take all the help I can get (especially the divine kind).
Back to School night is tomorrow. If you can come, it would be great to meet you. Check the school map in your child's agenda.

Agenda, September 4
1 Physical Science Diagnostic Test (completeness)
Miniatures Club - We appear to be set to start Miniatures Club this Friday. I will need 10 minutes to introduce the club and then we can start. I am at the complete mercy of my high school students for teaching our first game, Pirates.
This weekend I discovered a small snake behind me while working in a field. With a diamond shaped head, it caused me to pause. If a rattlesnake, it did not have a rattle due to its age. Young rattlers do not have a rattle until they shed their skin. It dove down a crack in the dried clay. I hope not to see it again.
I also went sailing in a small boat on a small lake with, thankfully, a small wind. Best comment overheard from the canoe with Katharyn and Kim in it was "We can't both sit on one side". Kendra and I managed to stay dry. Well, mostly.
Oh, and Frozen Beverage Dispensers are quite expensive. We will need to earn a good deal of money to buy one new for the Science workroom.

1 Journal 5 How to do Constructing Meaning
2 Continue Journal 4 Chapter 1 Vocabulary
3 Journal 6 Chapter 1 Constructing Meaning due Friday, Sept. 7
The second full moon in a month is called a blue moon. Tonight is a blue moon. Once in a blue moon people come along that are quiet and considered but have great impact on the world around us. Yesterday, a man named Leigh Weimers, a former columnist for The San Jose Mercury News and community commentator, passed away. His insightful commentary on the local news station KLIV was a joy to listen to and while I never met him, it was comforting to know that he and I espoused some of the same causes.
Miniatures Club - I am looking at purchasing some WWI aeroplanes from Shapeways.com. This is the 3D printing company I bought some planes from last year. I am looking at rounding out our collection of regular planes and adding some esoteric ones and some multi engined bombers. If you see something you think we should have, let me know. Look for the designers: kampfflieger and colinwe. Matt, they do not have SPAD XII's yet.
