September 14, 2012 Hello parents,
Welcome back to PALS! We had a wonderful reunion this afternoon. Mrs. Slack was not at school today, so Mrs. Benn was the guest teacher helping us today. School pick-ups took me some extra time, since Mrs. Slack was not here to join me, so we got started a little later than usual. We began with some Extreme Dot-to-Dots and Seek and Finds. We then spent a little time participating in Brain Activities/Games.
The students got back into the PALS routine by choosing some Brainwork and setting their goals to be met by the end of January. The minimum number is 11, one for each PALS class session.
We moved on to a couple of rounds of “Red Herring”. The kids are presented with a sort of riddle (including a couple of “clues” that can be misleading), and they must solve it by asking only yes or no questions. Each student is allowed to ask up to three questions. The kids did a great job using deductive reasoning, and were able to solve two riddles without running out of question cards!
We then went outside to have our annual “mug shots” taken :-). It is so fun to see how the kids change from year to year in PALS. We love this tradition! They then got to play together for a few minutes on the playground.
We finished the afternoon with a Sheridan assembly. The assembly was about being a champion. Prior to going, we talked about what the word, champion, can mean. Although it can mean being the best, or the winner, it can also mean being in someone’s corner—standing behind and standing up for someone else.
All in all, we had a super first day.

*We have completed PALS paperwork turned in for most kids. If you need another set of copies, please give us a call. As you know, Mrs. Smith is unable to transport any child in her vehicle without the “Volunteer Transportation Form” completed and signed by a parent.
September 21, 2012 Hello parents,
We started this afternoon by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks. We spent extra time on Scrapbooks, since we had a lot of uncaptioned photos left from last year’s trip to Alpena.
We then took time to solve another “Red Herring”
Our next activity was “Line Up Logic”. After dividing into groups, students were given an envelope of clues. Each group member read a given clue. All the clues combined correctly would result in row of characters lined up in a specific order. This activity required a lot of cooperation, listening skills, and spatial reasoning.
We try to introduce this type of work throughout the year, challenging the kids to stretch themselves to read clues more than once and make necessary adjustments, to help them realize it’s ok to start over, and to work productively in a group. These can be frustrating skills to learn and practice, especially for PALS kids, but are so needed and valuable to them in the long run.
Lastly, we went outside for our first affective activity of the year—an old favorite, Jedi Mind Trick. As you may remember, this is a fun way to visit the topic of eye contact, and to practice using it.

Walking Field Trip this Friday! Hi parents,
We will be walking to NCMC this Friday afternoon, September 28, for a tree identification lesson with Bryon Willcome of Willcome Tree Service.
Please encourage your child to wear weather-appropriate clothing and walking shoes. We will be identifying trees both in the courtyard and on the college trails.
We are planning to go, rain or shine. (If there is lightning, of course, we will not go.) Please pack rain gear, if appropriate.
We will arrive back at Sheridan prior to the end of the school day.
Please call or email if you have questions.
Have a great week!
Jen & Kathy
September 28, 2012 Hello parents,
We started this afternoon by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
Before we got all the way through stations, our visiting expert, Mr. Willcome of Willcome’s Tree Service, arrived. We walked to the NCMC campus and trails, identifying trees along the way. We used two different dichotomous keys. A dichotomous key uses a series of sequential choices with two (di) possible answers for each. One answer leads to the next question, until you have identified enough specific characteristics that you are led to a single species. We were very successful with our identifications today—only missing one out of eight! Mr. Willcome was able to confirm our identifications, as well as provide us with lots of additional, fascinating facts about the trees we were seeing. Thank you, Mr. Willcome, for volunteering to assist with this PALS outing every year!

*This is our last PALS session until November. October is the month for Mrs. Slack to test prospective new PALS students. Our next session will be on Friday, November 9.
November 9, 2012 Hello parents,
We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
Those who were not new to PALS today finished their thank you letters to Mr. Willcome for the time he took to share his tree expertise with us in September. New students were given a tour of Sheridan, and were introduced to our classroom routines by their “veteran” classmates and Mrs. Slack.
We introduced our first theme of study with a group activity. Each table of students was given a set of seemingly unconnected words. The kids were then asked, as a group, to write a paragraph about a topic that would involve all of those words. We shared our paragraphs. Next week we will read the article from which we took this vocabulary list to learn the true topic.
is always heartwarming to see our “old hats” welcoming and helping our new PALS students learn the ropes. They are a very caring group of kids.
Have a great weekend!

*We have completed PALS paperwork turned in for everyone in this group. Thank you, parents!
**A permission slip is coming home with your child today. We will be taking a field trip to Kilwin’s Kitchen on US-31 in Petoskey on Friday, November 30. Please return the signed form and money for ice cream, if desired, at our next PALS session on November 16. (We do not meet on November 23, due to Thanksgiving break.)
November 16, 2012 Hello parents,
We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
We continued our first theme of study. We divided into pairs and read an article to each other on our theme—CHOCOLATE!! Each of the words and phrases we had used to write our paragraphs last week were related to chocolate: fights cancer, junk food, cacao, antioxidant, broccoli, serotonin, plaque, calories, and vitamins. We followed the reading with a class discussion, led by Mrs. Benn, who was subbing for Mrs. Slack today.
We next chose partners for an affective activity. Today’s was a fun race! Each student was given a small paper turkey cut-out and a straw. The object was to hold the turkey onto the end of the straw by inhaling and keeping it suctioned to the straw’s end—all while walking as fast as possible to the finish line of the curvy course we set up in the classroom. It was a hoot! This is a fun, safe activity to help kids become comfortable with not being successful at something immediately (Often PALS kids have trouble with that.), and to have fun, “win” or “lose”. We also talked about the variables that could affect keeping the turkey on the straw—air current, angle of the turkey, flat vs. wrinkled paper, the size of the straw opening, etc.
Have a great weekend!

We then began a multi-week class project, “The Chocolate Caper”. This is a mystery we must solve by analyzing clues and using them to solve multiple, sequential logic puzzles.

*A few kids do not have their permission slips turned in for our trip to Kilwin’s Kitchen on November 30. Each student must have a signed permission slip turned in by the day of the trip, or they will have to remain or be returned to their home schools rather than attend the field trip.
November 30, 2012 Hello parents,
Today we went on our field trip to Kilwin’s Kitchen. Thank you, parents, who were willing and able to drive and chaperone our trip. We couldn’t have these great experiences without your help! We were very pleased with the kids’ behavior. Once again, our group did us proud in the community! They were polite, listened well, asked great questions, and were gracious.
We learned a lot about how the Kilwin’s factory operates, and how they make their candies. We also got a free sample of yummy candy, and purchased our ice cream cones.
At our next session we hope to have a slide show on the origin of chocolate—from the cacao bean and where it grows through the production of the chocolate product. We saw it being shown on a monitor in Kilwin’s Kitchen, and they were kind enough to email us the document.
Upon our return to Sheridan, the kids began writing friendly letters of thanks to our tour guide, Sarah.
Enjoy your weekend!
Kathy & Jen
Due to parent/teacher conferences, we do not have PALS next week. Mrs. Slack will be visiting all elementary buildings working with small groups. Our next session will be Friday, December 14.
Brainwork Goals Hi parents,
We have discovered that several students were under the impression that their brainwork goals need to be met before the holiday break. Please don’t panic! Brainwork goals are due at our mid-year of PALS, which is the end of January.
Mrs. Slack will be going over each student’s goal with him/her next week. The kids will then collect and take home the number of brainwork pieces still needed to meet their goals. That way they can work on brainwork over the holidays if needed, and know that when the brainwork in their folders is done, they have achieved their goals.
Enjoy this busy season!
Please email or call if you have any questions.
Kathy & Jen
December 14, 2012 Hello parents,
We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
Students then finished writing their thank you notes to our tour guide from Kilwin’s Kitchen, Sarah.
Mrs. Slack met with each student today to see how s/he is working toward his/her brainwork goal. Then the kids collected the number of new pieces of brainwork to be completed before the end of January. (These are now in their PALS folders.) Holiday Break is a great time to get a good chunk of these done.
Today we were lucky enough to have Gregory Koontz share with us, through a brief slide show, the process of making chocolate from cacao beans. He was able to experience this in his mom’s native country of Ecuador a few years ago. Thank you to the Koontz family for sharing!
There will be no afternoon PALS next Friday, due to classroom parties and activities.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season with your families,
Kathy & Jen

Happy New Year!
We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
Our affective activity today was a bit silly and fun. Each student was given the name of a character or object in a story that Mrs. Slack read. As Mrs. Slack was reading, if a child’s character was mentioned, that person had to stand up, spin around, and sit back down—all while trying to keep track of the storyline. With 24 students in this group, it was quite a spectacle of movement!
Mrs. Slack introduced a new (to some) type of brainwork today, “Jumble” puzzles. You may have done these in the newspaper. A list of words, all pertaining to a given theme, must be found by unscrambling sets of letters. Then these words are matched with a list of clues. Finally, a letter in each word is circled. These circled letters are then unscrambled to form a mystery answer.
We next continued on our Chocolate theme. Since we discovered today is National Trivia Day, Mrs. Slack shared some surprising and little-known facts about this favorite food item. Then the kids worked in pairs, reading an article about the chemistry of using the cacao bean and other ingredients to make chocolate treats, and how delicate these processes are.
Kathy & Jen
*Brainwork goals for this group are due to be met on Friday, January 25. Please check in with your child as that day approaches to see how s/he is progressing toward his/her goal.
**Although we try to minimize conflicts between classroom and PALS activities, sometimes they are unavoidable. We are happy to work with kids, parents, and teachers to find solutions that allow students to experience as much as possible. It is extremely important for parents to let us know ahead of time if a child will not be attending PALS for part or all of his/her regular time here. If we do not hear from a parent, we will expect a student to follow the PALS schedule that is in place. This way, we and parents know where a student is at any given time.
Brainwork Goals Due! Hi parents,
This is just a friendly reminder that fourth grade Brainwork goals are due to be met this Friday, January 25. Please check in with your child, and help him/her to remember his/her folder when coming to PALS this week!
Thanks very much,
Jen & Kathy
January 25, 2013 Hi parents,
We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
Our affective activity today was tied into our chocolate unit. The game was “Doubles”. Each group of four students was given a large baking sheet, a plastic spork and knife, two dice, and a wrapped Hershey bar. Standing in a circle around the table, one person started rolling the dice. When s/he rolled a pair of doubles, s/he put on his/her hat and gloves, and the next person started rolling, trying for doubles. The player wearing a hat and gloves began trying to cut open the wrapper and get a piece of chocolate to his/her mouth using only the spork and knife. Once the next player rolled doubles, the “eater” had to stop and remove the hat and gloves, and the successful roller donned hat and gloves and tried to unwrap and eat, etc. This game is loud, exciting, and usually fun. The challenging part is that, as a game of chance, not everyone gets an even amount of chocolate, if any. These types of games are an excellent way to practice good sportsmanship and handle disappointment. PALS kids are often very competitive, and may want to quit when things don’t come easily to them. We use these types of activities to work on social skills in an emotionally safe environment.
Mrs. Slack conferenced briefly with each student to see how s/he did in meeting his/her brainwork goal for the first half of the year. About half of the kids in this afternoon’s group met or exceeded their goals. “Great job” to those kids!
The minimum goal to set is equivalent to one piece of brainwork per session of PALS. Each day in PALS, students are given 10 minutes to choose, work on, and/or correct brainwork. Although this is not enough time to complete all of the goal brainwork, it should be a good start. Given the results of the goal check today, it is evident that some students have not been using their work time at the brainwork station wisely, and that some are not working on brainwork at home.
Next week, we will begin studying cotton candy. (Do you sense a pattern emerging? ;-) Students will also soon begin using the machine to make themselves their own scientific treats. The $2 we asked to be sent in per child will pay for cotton candy once per month for the remainder of the year (and our study :-). If you forgot or didn’t get the message before PALS today, please just send $2 in with your child next week.
Kathy & Jen
February 1, 2013 We started today by rotating through our PALS stations—Brainwork, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks.
During this work time, the kids took turns trying out the cotton candy machine! Thank you to those parents who have sent in $2.00 for this ongoing project. If you haven’t yet had the chance to send it in, please get the money to us as soon as possible.
Next, we handed out information packets detailing our big spring field trip, an overnight at Camp Daggett. Although it doesn’t take place until mid-March, we like to give students and parents a heads-up well ahead of time. Please read through all the materials, and feel free to call or email with any additional questions or concerns.
We then resumed work on our Chocolate Caper. We have added to our possible suspect list, and have worked on identifying false vs. valid assumptions. We also discussed how one might make dangerous generalizations, and how to avoid this. We have also learned the definition of motive, and determined which suspects have a motive.
Have a great weekend!

February 8, 2013 Hello parents,
Mrs. Slack was absent today, as she was attending a college music audition with her daughter. Mrs. Benn joined us as a guest teacher.
We started today by rotating through stations—Brainwork, Scrapbooks, Brain Activities, and the February Sketch and Tell.
Our affective activity today was a game called 5 Second Rule. Sitting in a circle, each person took a turn reading a clue, such as: “ List three things you would find in a freezer” The person to his/her left had to only five seconds to answer. If the player got three correct answers before time ran out, s/he got to keep that clue card. Although the questions seemed simple (usually), the very short time limit made the task extremely challenging! It always seemed easier to think of answers when it wasn’t one’s own turn :-).
Next, we discussed what the kids already know about friction. A few things they know:
Friction can be beneficial or unwanted
Friction keeps us from always slipping and sliding, on foot or in a vehicle.
Friction can slow us down when we want to go fast on a sled.
Friction creates heat.
Based on what we knew, we then made predictions (hypotheses) to rank surfaces from the fastest to slowest times(greatest to least velocity) for a Matchbox Car to travel down a given slope: cardboard, a yoga mat, felt, or sandpaper.
As sometimes happens in science, we hit a glitch. After running our cardboard trial, we found that the slope of the ramp we, or truthfully, I, had set up, was not great enough for the car to move by itself when covered by the yoga mat or felt. We therefore increased the slope and did a trial with the sandpaper. In order to keep a lone variable, we will have to redo the cardboard trial (and perform our yoga mat and felt trials) using our new slope at our next session. Live and learn!
Have a great weekend!
Kathy & Jen
We do not have PALS next week. Mrs. Slack will be working with small groups in all elementary buildings next week. Our next session will be Friday, February 22.
February 22, 2013 Hi parents,
A permission slip is coming home today for a field trip to the Petoskey Winter Sports Park next Friday (March 1) during afternoon PALS. We will leave Sheridan at 12:45 at the latest, and return to Sheridan before the end of the day.
We have been experimenting with friction in class, and will race our cardboard sleds at the WSP that day. It is always a blast!
We are in need of parent drivers and helpers that day. Please call or email if you’d like to help. We will need people to make and serve hot chocolate and snacks, at least one timer, one starter, a person to film, if possible, and someone to take pictures.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Slack can drive 11 kids. That leaves 13 that we need parent volunteers to transport (3-5 additional vehicles).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kathy & Jen

Good afternoon parents,
Today we corrected and got new brainwork, bypassing our other stations so that we had time for our other activities.
We reviewed friction and the start of our experiment last week. We then finished our time trials with the Matchbox cars on a variety of surfaces with a constant slope.
Next, students were paired off (in new combinations) to design cardboard sleds, minimizing friction. They had 5 minutes to plan, and 45 minutes to build sleds, using corrugated cardboard, and one roll each of clear packaging tape and duct tape. Next week, when we travel to the Winter Sports Park, each student will make a timed run down the hill with his/her sled (We will average the partners' two times.). We will then take a break in the lodge for 5 minutes of repairs, and head back outside for another round of trials.
I previously sent an email asking for volunteer drivers and helpers for the WSP. We would love for you to join us! Please sign your child's permission slip and send it back with him/her next week. Any students without signed permission slips will have to remain at their home schools.
Kathy & Jen
March 8, 2013 Hello parents,
Today we began by rotating through stations—Brainwork, Salmon Journals, Brain Activities, and Scrapbooks. Those that were caught up on scrapbook pictures worked on the March Sketch & Tell.
Next, we got back to work on The Chocolate Caper. Today, they read and analyzed the suspect descriptions, and determined what, if any, motive each suspect had to steal the recipe. They then learned how to obtain
Due to some early "spring fever", Mrs. Slack today introduced a little behavior modification to encourage good listening and excellent classroom behavior. An infraction (interrupting, being blatantly off-task, talking when the teacher is talking, etc.) will result in a 10 cent fine, which will go toward a purchase for the PALS classroom. (The fines vary with grade level, from a penny to a quarter.) This afternoon, the classroom only tallied 10 cents! If your student comes home telling you s/he owes Mrs. Slack a dime, please allow them to earn their payment with the completion of the household chore of your choice :-) . Your child will be able to tell you why s/he was fined.
Enjoy your weekend!
Kathy & Jen
*There is no PALS next week. Mrs. Slack is traveling to all elementaries for small groups. Our next session will be our Camp Daggett field trip. Detailed information will be coming via email this week about procedures for our departure to Camp Daggett on Thursday, March 21.
**Mrs. Slack will be available on a drop-in basis for PALS conferences at Sheridan on Tuesday, March 12, and Thursday, March 14, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. If you would prefer to speak with Mrs. Slack via email or over the phone, that is fine as well. Be assured that she will always contact you if there are concerns that need attention.
Thank You Hi parents,
Well, we had an extremely fun and exhausting trip to Camp Daggett. We hope we delivered some good sleepers back to you last Friday afternoon.
We are very proud of the kids' helpfulness, willingness to settle right down to sleep at the end of the day, and their cooperation and teamwork at the Adventure Center!
We would also like to give a great big thank-you to our parent (and grandparent :-) chaperones, drivers, treat-makers, and helpers. Without your generosity and assistance, we would not be able to have these opportunities for our students. You are spectacular!
Sincerely,
Kathy & Jen
April 19, 2013 Hi parents,
Wow! Between Camp Daggett, Spring Break, and our "Ice Day", we haven't actually been in our classroom with this group since March 8! It's good to be back.
We began Friday rotating through stations.
We have received a couple of reports from PALS kids that they had heard a classmate or two telling others they were smarter or better than other students because they are in PALS. Today we discussed how statements like these are hurtful to others, and that everyone is smart and gifted in different areas. We also talked about how it's not nice to brag about special projects or trips we take in PALS, and that while we do have unique opportunities and projects here, PALS students are also missing fun and rewarding activities in their own classrooms while they are here. We reminded the kids that they are here because they think differently, and that they need to be challenged in different ways. We are here to provide those challenges.
We have a new addition to our classroom. The second-graders are going to be studying birds, so we will be incubating both Ringneck Pheasant and Bobwhite Quail eggs! The kids got a chance to see the eggs today. The quail eggs have an incubation period of 16-23 days. They have approximately 14 days left before they begin to hatch. The pheasant eggs have an incubation period 23-27 days. They have about 18 days until hatching begins. When the chicks are old enough, they will be going to the nice farm home of an Ottawa teacher.
Next, we sorted and organized the vast number of scrapbook photos we printed from our Camp Daggett trip. Thank you to parents who provided us so many great pics!
We finished the afternoon by working on The Great Chocolate Caper.
It's hard to believe, but after today, we only have four class sessions for this group. Please check with your child to see how s/he is progressing toward his/her goal. Brainwork goals are due to be met for this group on May 17.
Have a great weekend! Keep your fingers crossed for some sunshine.
Kathy & Jen
April 26, 2013 Hi parents,
We began Friday rotating through stations.
Today we had a special treat--actually treats! "Baker Billy", joined us, a chef who has been the head baker at The Ritz Carlton in St. Louis and Las Vegas, The Grand Ole Opry, and Hostess, to name a few. He first taught us the purposes and effects of the different ingredients of chocolate chip cookies, and the students took notes. They were then given a "control" cookie, which was made to exact recipe specifications. Each following cookie was missing one ingredient. The kids were then given several different cookies, and used their newfound knowledge to decide, based on appearance and taste, which ingredient was missing or different from each cookie. They may test your taste buds and baking knowledge tonight!
Have a wonderful, and, hopefully, snow-free weekend :-)
Kathy & Jen
May 10, 2013 Hi parents,
We began Friday afternoon rotating through stations. Those kids who are going to be absent next week due to their own field trips went over their Brainwork goals with Mrs. Slack today. Most students met or exceeded their goals. Great job, kids!
The kids continued work on the Great Chocolate Caper.
Our eggs have hatched! Mrs. Smith came to check on the eggs Sunday night, knowing they were getting close. She came in to one pheasant already hatched (These were supposed to hatch after the quail, not before!). She then rushed to Meijer to buy light bulbs to heat the brooders (where the tiny chicks will spend some time growing). When she returned, she got to watch another pheasant hatch, and noticed several more eggs, including some of the quail, moving! By 1:00 am, she was tired of waiting, and just plain tired, and went home. Monday morning Mrs. Smith came in to find seven baby quail and five baby pheasant! Another pheasant and quail hatched Monday morning with the kids watching. Several more quail and pheasant have hatched since. What fun! There are still six eggs unhatched. They are now considered duds and will be discarded at the end of today.
Mr. Donaldson came on the P.A. at 2:45 to announce an all-school "Drop Everything and Dance" in the gym. It was fun to have some silly fun on a Friday afternoon :-)
Next week is our last PALS class. We have decided to graze on some yummy food while we work. The kids have signed (or been signed up ;-) up to bring the following:
Ainsley--Veggie Dip
Owen--Carrots
Michael--Chips
Makenzie--Pretzels
Keegan--Hard Candy
Dakota--Tortilla Chips
Matt--Fruit
Mason--Cheese Salsa
Katie--Orange Slices
Gage--Salsa & Chips
Sandra--French Onion Dip
Emma--Fruit
Ellen--Lime Cheese Ball
Justine--Jello
Madison--Chocolate Chip Cookies
Molly--Salad
Ava--Potato Chips
Lucy--Hawaiian Punch
Greg--Cheese and Crackers
If this item doesn't work for your family, please feel free to substitute another offering.
Have a great weekend!
Jen & Kathy
May 17, 2013 Hi parents,
We spent today wrapping up The Great Chocolate Caper, which we have worked on throughout the year. This is the last week of PALS for this school year :-( We enjoyed some yummy snacks (Thank you, kids and parents!) while we worked.
Our chicks have gone to their new home on the farm. They all had feathers growing on their wings, and the pheasants, especially, were trying to get out of their enclosures. Mrs. Smith came in to clean their houses on Saturday to find the light on in the room. (It turns on by motion sensor.) After much crawling around and peeping from the little escapee, s/he was found shivering behind the toilet in the class bathroom. The little chick was fine, and the window of the brooder was taped shut :-)
Disappointingly, not many students met their Brainwork goals in this group. For those who did, way to go! You may want to check with your child to see how s/he did in this regard. Since students get ten minutes during each PALS class to work on and/or correct Brainwork, they should have at least several done without having to even get them out at home.
Information will be coming soon about our annual PALS Open House. We had chosen a day, but we have a group who will be gone on an overnight field trip that day, so we are rescheduling. We'll email invitations as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing your kiddos with us this year. They are amazing!
Kathy & Jen
