Thanks everyone for coming in this week. It was good to meet with all of you. Another big thank you to the 6th grade parents for supplying some food for the teachers.

Today we took our geography test, finished The Outsiders, and looked at decimal numbers.

everything else remains the same as before.

Another busy day! We took our Math test today. We also finished up talking about South American countries. We also corrected our study guides for our test tomorrow. Remember the study guides are open book so please take advantage of the book. We looked over our story outlines and touched them up where needed. We also learned about metamorphic rocks. We are working on understanding ship vocabulary for Treasure Island.

Tomorrow is field trip day! We plan to have our morning devotion, use the rest rooms and leave. I hope to be on the road by 8:15. We will park across the street from the theater. The play should be done around noon. We then plan to get our lunches and walk to the city center to eat. I am asking the students to bring cold lunches, but there are some restaurants located there is someone wanted to purchase something additional. We hope to be back on the road by about 1:00 so we can get back in plenty of time for Youth Praise.

Please note that spelling is still due tomorrow despite the field trip.

Happy Friday! Today we started to paint a fall scene. We took our geo test and had 3 A+s and a pretty good over all average. We also learned about LCM. In connection to that I introduced the students to the Kahn academy. It is a web site that has a lot of free educational videos. Many of them are on math topics, including LCM. They come with no guarantees, but it is nice to be able to watch them on your time table as many times as you would like.

Wow. I forgot another one. That lets you know what the past two weeks have been like. Sorry about that!
Today we had the opportunity to spend the morning learning CPR and how to use an AED. We learned how to do it for adults, children, and infants. The entire class is now certified for CPR and using an AED. Did you know we have two AEDs in our building? There is one in the lunch room and one in the coat room. In the afternoon we talked more about minerals and practiced some of our songs for our musical.

Well we had some excitement today. Things got thrown for a loop when the power went down for some time. The class got treated to some extra Pastor Weigand time while I tried to mitigate some of the damage the power outage did to our computers. Eventually the power was restored and things got back near to normal. Now if only I could say the same about the computers . . .

Another Thursday has arrived. (Did this one take a few extra days or is that just me?) Today we worked on subtracting fractions when you have to borrow. We also looked at the climates of Latin America. There are more than you would think. We played some soccer and enjoyed an incredibly beautiful day. We discussed that 'not' is an adverb and not part of the verb phrase. We corrected the science study guide and checked out a bit more of "Macbeth".

We will have a guest speaker coming tomorrow. Watch for details.

Greetings again! It occured to me that I never did blog yesterday. I appologize. I had a quick computer audi fix to do after school which turned into a two day power supply replacement. In the process the blog was left undone. Today I am back!

Yesterday and today we started looking at our Prezi presentations on Latin America. So far they are fairly well done. We also started talking about 3 prargraph essays. We have also been talking about molucules and compunds and such. Today we reviewed how the mass number and the atomic number of an element let us decide how many protons, electrons and nuetrons their are. In math we took our test yesterday and today started talking about prime factorizations. It has been a busy week!
Subject for academic fair is due tomorrow.
