The big event today was the event that didn't happen. For a few different reasons we didn't get to see ANY of our Museum Box presentations. We will certainly do what we can to make it happen tomorrow. We also will take our geography test.

By the way, I am missing some signed notes from mid-term yet. Please return those as soon as you can. It lets me know that you saw them. I know some of you are checking on line at engrade.com, but it is a way for me to make sure everyone has some idea of what is going on with his or her student's grades. Thanks!

So, they tell me it is Monday. We started a new chapter in geography, talking about the history and governments of Africa. Ask your students about the green, yellow and blue country people. We also solved more percent problems, but we did it as ratios this time. We took the afternoon to go to the lab and work on our museum box presentations. We seemed to make good progress.

Well it is Friday and what a Friday. We had a visitor, some tests, a video and even some study time.

We had Eric come and visit us today. He is planning on coming to our school next year and wanted to get to know his future classmates a bit. We had a relatively calm day for him. We had a messy art period, but then we took at test, followed that with another test, started a video, did some correcting and some music, and then we were ready for lunch already. We did get some good character development and good examples of descriptive writing in our story though.

Welcome to another Wednesday! Well, we didn't take our science test today after all. I decided that the weather video would be a good additional review before the test. We WILL take it tomorrow Lord willing. We took a pretest with a partner for math, and we took our map test for geography. We averaged an A-! We also had our intro to our next story, Where the Red Fern Grows.

Welcome to Tuesday! It was kind of funny as we looked at the climates of Africa countries last week, we kept mentioning how WI gets more snow than the countries of Africa. It certainly didn't feel much like it before, but we may be working on changing that this week.

Anyhow we did look at the African climate regions today. We also worked on transformations in math. No not transformers! We also reviewed for our science test a bit. Be ready for the test tomorrow, but I may let us watch the video before the test which would put the test on Thursday though. We also got to hear some of the 'last chapter' projects for literature.

Well it is Monday again. How is yours going? Well I hope! We started off the day by wrapping up our discussion on how we can get along better with our friends. Then we took a pre-test for spelling. We have names from places and people this week. Things like hamburger and frankfurter. Makes me hungry just typing about it. We then jumped into how to work with problems that may have not enough information, or may have just enough to make a comparison. (IF x is negative and y is positive, I don't have enough info to tell you what the numbers are but I can tell you that y is greater than x.) We followed that up by looking at the physical features of Africa. We then talked about our upcoming museum box project. We spent a lot of time finishing up our science section on weather as well. We finished off the day with some study time.

Hey it's Tuesday! Wow, everything took longer than I thought it would today. Wonder if it is the weather? Anyhow we did manage to get through the prezis for two countries today. We also worked through math problems involving percents. The example problems are all done for you on the picture above. (Fun with the Smart Board!) Our science quiz took some time so while we got through thunderstorms and tornadoes, we didn't make it all the way through hurricanes. We will finish up tomorrow.

Happy Monday to you, happy Monday to you, happy Monday Dear reader, Happy Monday to you. I was told today that no one reads the blog, so thanks for being here to prove that person wrong.

Today we worked out some complex fractions. Those are fractions within fractions like 2/3 over 4/5. We know how to simplify those now! (5/6 by the way) We also took an overview look at Africa south of the Sahara dessert. We have been working on our song for church. Remember it got moved from the 12th to the 19th of this month. We are also learning about weather including what relative humidity means.

Hello my friends, thanks for dropping in for a visit. We had a fine day today as we learned about how to get along as families. We took more time to work on solving equations with fractional numbers in them. (What fraction of the people read the blog if five out of 17 people read the blog?) We also got ready for our geo test tomorrow and took our science test today. We averaged a B. We also got to watch more of the Animal Farm movie. Ask your student about all the things that were different.

Lesson 74

Thanks for the good turnout last night. It was an interesting presentation with some great handouts and worth the time. Today we started the Animal Farm  movie and already saw quite a few differences. We also talked about how to multiply numbers with positive and negative signs on them. We also talked about trying out a variety of fitness activities and finding some we can do for a lifetime. We are also ready to our science test tomorrow.
