Enjoy a warm day. Today we started to scratch the surface of space art. We also continued to work on classifying sentences and our persuasive paragraphs. In math we divided numbers in scientific notation. Then we learned about Jelly Roll Morton. To top that all off, we heard some very verbose folks complain about some other verbose folks.

We are trying to get AR and the music CD done by 5/14 and many students are there. Good job!

One more day of God's grace! Today we went through the Math test question by question so everyone should know how to do each question. We also looked at writing persuasive essays of three paragraphs. We also saw how Apollo 13 was saved.

The Tall Tale Voice Threads are up. Use the link on the right to get to a Wiki where each project has a separate link. Watch one, watch them all! They are quite entertaining. I will warn you that the volume varies greatly from one project to the next. Today we started persuasive paragraphs. We also took a pretest for Math, with the real thing to follow tomorrow. We also finished section three of our science unit and learned about the space shuttle and space station.

Today we found the area and circumference of part of a circle. We also started Tall Tales. I look forward to a good chuckle reading those. We also looked at air pollution, where it comes from and what we are trying to do about. We also talked about life in Shakespeare's day. We will get into his life next time. We also reviewed some basic first aid ideas.

Welcome back to school! I pray everyone had a good break.
Today we got back into the groove by working with negatives and dividing with variables. We also started our study of Shakespeare leading into our reading of Love's Labours' Lost. We are also looking at how we affect the air and water.
