Welcome to 6th grade core!
Today in class, students toured the school, practiced their lockers and learned the ins and outs of 6th grade core. Each student received the class syllabus (also available on the website). Each syllabus includes a parent review slip that must be signed and returned by Wednesday, September 12th.
Students also received picture forms (pictures are Thursday!), insurance handouts and a letter from the district. If you did not receive these forms, please contact the office for a copy.
It was a fun and rewarding first day of school and I look forward to our year together! Please visit the website for more course information.

Moontastic
I have to go to work tomorrow and chances are you don't...so, you should check out the lunar eclipse early early in the AM Tuesday morning. The moon will be red and it should be awesome. I may set my alarm and try and check it out at 2:52am, if not I'll see it on the news in the morning like all the other "old" people.
Here's a link to a story about the eclipse in today's Oregonian.
and HERE is a link to the NASA eclipse page.

Easy as 1-2-3
Ahoy!
My summer is officially over, as I am typing this from the classroom. It was a very low key, laid back, relaxing summer break and I am definitely ready to get back to work! I'm looking around the room and noticing that there is a lot to get done before Tuesday, when school starts. As promised on the last day of school, I'm putting out the call...if you want to come help me get organized, drop me a comment and I'll get back to you. I have meetings all day Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning, but Wednesday afternoon and Thursday are free...so come on down (just be sure to let me know first)!!
Savor your last few days, get lots of rest and start organizing those pencils...it's that time again!!
Here are 2 pics from my summer break. The first one is my sister and I at her graduation from Oregon State, and the second is my two best friends and I at the University of Oregon graduation.

Harry Potter MANIA!
July 27, 2007: Finished the book. I really enjoyed the way that the book completed the series. I hope that those of you who got the book are enjoying it!
July 21, 2007: I got the book! I waited in line for a bit, and attended the release "party" at Bridgeport. I 've never seen so many people waiting for anything, pretty cool that what they were waiting for was a book!!
July 12, 2007: I saw the movie!
Well, I saw the movie...midnight at Bridgeport. The movie was great! They did leave out some plot points (which always happens when books get turned into movies), but it was worth seeing. Anybody seen it yet? Thoughts?
What was not very fun, was having to wait in line for hours in the hot hot heat! The theatre sold out all 18 screens and there were over 3000 people waiting in line to see the movie. 3000 people huddled together makes things a bit warm, but with the temperature at 100 degrees, you can bet it was pretty unbearable!

Summertime, and the living is easy
Ahoy Summer Readers!
I can't believe that it is July 1st already! I am getting pretty excited about the various Harry Potter books and movies that are coming our way over the next few weeks (you can see to the right I've added a list of important Ms B events this summer).
I hope that you all are having a relaxing summer and that you are taking a break from skateboarding and video gaming to find at least a few minutes to read something wonderful. I am trying to catch up on all the reading I did not have time for over the school year...but, it's a bit difficult as I just got a Nintendo DS and I can't seem to put it down!
Check out the calendar, and maybe I will see a few of you at some of the events I've listed (especially the fireworks July 28th...I never miss them!!).
Have a safe and Happy July 4th!
PS. Has anyone seen Ratatouille yet? I'd like to know if you liked it before I pay $9 to see it myself! :)

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
Wow! It has been such an eventful year for us here at Mountain View. It seems like just yesterday you were walking in to my classroom nervous and excited about the experiences that you would soon have in 6th grade...and now, you've walked out of my door for the last time.
I have learned a lot this year, and I hope that you have as well. We've worked hard and managed to have some fun in between. I hope that you have enjoyed this year and that you have learned, not only about maps and books and charts, but also how to talk to friends and solve your problems. I feel confident that each and every one of you have developed the skills you need to be successful in the seventh grade and I cannot wait to see what great things you will do next year!
Have a wonderful summer, and remember to check the blog every once in a while, as I will keep you updated on all things Harry Potter movie and book. Don't forget to leave your comments, I love hearing from you! Be on the lookout for a post in August where I will ask you in to help me out with my classroom for next year's 6th grade class! Have a super summer, and don't forget to READ READ READ!
