Hey! Today we worked on collecting text books. We also learned a bit about the Titanic. We still have some late work to get in, but there were no new assignments today. Remember to bring bags to take home anything left at school, including art supplies. See you all tomorrow night!

Today we worked on reviewing science from this year and worked on commonly confused words one more time. We also looked at events in the world and above it. (The shuttle finally landed, a new supreme court judge? and wars and rumors of war.)

Happy Assension! Our Lord used his last words to tell us to spread His word so let's not be afraid!

Today we took some time to do a collage. The results are sure to be . . . interesting!
Memory and spelling went home today. We averaged a C and a C- respectively. I also sent home a progress report. For my classes this gives you an idea of what to expect on the final report card. Literature does not yet included the AR points, so those have the best chance of changing. For most of the students, if they are still missing any work, I entered a 0% for that grade. If a student hands in any of that missing work, the grade will be docked for being late, but it will improve over the 0%. The grades from the other teachers are still the midterm grades.

There are no new assignments from today. There are a few things due next week from yesterday.

Today we heard the oral reports for English, unfortunately many of the students did not understand what they were talking about. However, with a lot of help from me, we got through it! We also had some trouble during science this morning, but the students did pull it together nicely in the end. Please help your student stay on top of his or her assignments. With the end of the year fast approaching any missing work will be a 0% or the student may have to come in over summer! Any late work will have the grade significantly reduced.

Memory work and spelling are due tomorrow. Please encourage your student to study. Last weeks were much better and I'd like us to finish strong! Also get those AR points in sooner rather than later. The students were given the due date of the 22.

Today we got to look at the pictures/videos that I took on the trip. We also talked more about God's gift of sex. We also studied elements of literature, using some specific stories as examples. Unfortunately the students did not do the assignment board so I do not know what assignments they have for the classes I do not teach.

The science projects are done! The students had to make Power Points on an assigned planet or other space body. They had to have text and pictures, and as a special twist, they had to record their narration. This created some special issues and I think the students learned a lot about their topic and Power Point. I am posting links to their projects on the right, (the rest will be their soon). Unfortunately, the audio does not seem to work after I publish them to the Internet, so you will have to read them! Enjoy!

JEANS AND SHOES TOMORROW! Any music players will be taken at the students own risk. Please make sure any and all music taken along is appropriate.

All work will be due on Monday or later.

Today we just about finished up our science projects. We had a few laughs, but also learned a few things as well.
The memory grades seem to be slipping quite a bit despite me dividing up the memory and their being none from Pastor any more. Please talk to your student about the seriousness of doing their best to learn God's word.

Today we started watching the science Power Points. There are still some technical difficulties that we are trying to iron out, but the content has been good so far. We also started looking at poetry in literature. There is more to poetry them rhyming!

I'd like to thank all of you who generously gave gifts for teacher appreciation week. Thank you! We finished Where the Red Fern Grows 2 today. It was not as good as the original in my opinion. Choir did a great job (from what I hear) and the non-choir students did some good service work around school.
