Good morning Lodge families,

I want to thank again the parent volunteers who came out yesterday to go on our "Earth's Changing Surface" walks at Lodge yesterday. The students enjoyed it and learned a lot of information, including terms such as sediment, erosion, deposition, and weathering.

We are taking a quiz today for Word Wisdom. Homework for Word Wisdom p. 11 was due today. Grades will be updated this weekend, so you will be able to follow the progress of your child in my classes.

In Science today, we are working in our cooperative groups creating posters that display what they have learned this week, specifically: sediment, erosion, deposition, and weathering. Each student is being assigned a different term to write, define, and to draw during class time. This will work as their science assessment for the week.

The positive attitude quote of the day is: "The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude," written by Dennis S. Brown. I think that quote culminates all of the quotes this week from the life skill of having a positive attitude. Choose to have a positive attitude, and you will have a good day!

REMINDER: NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 IN HONOR OF LABOR DAY.

We will do a couple more science days in the shortened week next week, and we will have a couple of writing days.

Have a nice weekend!

~Mr. Polk
