It's Friday again. With no testing or trips today, we got to have more of a regularr day. We worked on self portraits, things we can do with a compass (and we learned some other things about circles), and our prezzis. We discussed what really is classical music anyway and finished this version of Macbeth. Phew!

Hello again. We had a great trip to the lab over at UW Fond du Lac today. We got some great hands on time and a slew of concepts that we will cover through out the year were introduced. We also talked about collective nouns and how to decide when they are plural and when they are singular. We spent a lot of time discussing atoms and the periodic table as well.

Hi. The first page of spelling is a bit confusing because some of the words have short vowel sounds and double consonants. So as a special bonus for my faithful blog readers here is some help.

17. harass
18. appendix
19. confess
20. vanilla

Aren't you glad you checked the blog tonight? Don't forget it can be emailed to you every night between 5 and 7. Look at the bottom of the page and you can have this delivered. And unlike a pizza, you don't even have to tip!

Today we finished Terra Nova testing! We also went though half of the pre-test in class. The students will have the next half due for Friday since we will have our trip tomorrow. Please remember that we are walking, possibly in rain, so help your student be prepared for the weather. We also had our map test today. Some of the students took the extra testing time to study their maps. Good for them! We also took a look at some irregular verb forms. Lots to remember there.

Grandparents day is next week! We will be working on our project for it tomorrow. We really need those pictures of grandparents (with the grandchild if possible.) 7th grade is also responsible for the plates and napkins for the meal as well. We need enough for about 175 grandparents! How cool is that? If you would also like to bring some sloppy joes, please talk to Mrs. Lauber or Mrs. Albrecht.

Tomorrow is all school devotion with Pastor Boggs from WLA. Join us if you are able!
