Happy Thursday to one and all. I have a family function out of state this weekend so I will be gone tomorrow. Mrs. Weigand will be subbing for me. This also means there will be no blog tomorrow. God willing I will be back to blogging on Monday.

Today we reviewed for science and geography. We will take the science test tomorrow and the geo test on Monday.

Hello again. Nice to have you back. We got to work with the Pythagerean Theorem today. We also checked out the Muslim countries of South Asia. Did you know that Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities in the world? In English we are practicing more with object compliments. These are words that tell what has happened to the direct object after the action of the verb was applied. For example, "We elected him president." President tells us what we elected him. It tells us more about him after he was elected. We also looked at the ways we use the land and what affect that can have on the environment. (It fit in very well with our presentation on the Friday before break!)

Please return the report card envelope, the filed trip form, and the note for singing in church. Thanks!

Remember that you can have this blog emailed to you daily for your convenience!

It's Monday and we are back into the swing of things. It is kind of odd to have the temps back where they belong, for one day at least. We started looking at South Asia as it is today. We also looked at how to figure out the scale factor in shapes. We also reviewed object compliment nouns and adjectives and we are looking at how we use our land. Oh yea, Billy won the hunting contest!

Please send back the report card envelopes. I sent home our report cards before break.
I sent home a form today for our next field trip.

We averaged a B on our geo test today and we had a great time with our guest speaker. Ask your student about it.
There are no assignments for over break. If anyone wants to get a head start though, when we get back we will have spelling unit 27, math set 97 and the literature review.
I sent home report cards today. Please look for those and send back the envelopes when we get back. Thanks!

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather, I know we are! We are also enjoying averaging a B on our science test and watching Robert Ballard go to the ocean depths back many years. Hopefully we will soon be able to see James Cameron go to the depths as well. We also also did some work on angles and the distributive property. 3(x-2) = 3x-6 We also corrected our geography reviews for our test tomorrow. We are also looking forward to our guest speaker tomorrow who will tell us more about pollution.

It is a warm one out there my friends. We warmed things up in here today as well. We are all ready for our science test tomorrow, and we wrapped up a quick peak into the people and customs of South Asia. We also tried to rebound from a rough math assignment by learning how to find the volume of a right solid. We finished up talking about eyes and what to do to help take care of them. We also got Billy to the big hunt, but he hasn't had his turn yet.

Good day to one and all. After 4 months of spring summer is here! At least it seems that way doesn't it? Anyhow we looked at compound probability today. We also looked into the history and government of South Asia. It is kind of scary to study the long history of discord between India and Pakistan and then realize they both have nuclear weapons. We also got Billy started on his championship raccoon hunt.

Happy Friday! Today we looked at percent of change problems for math. We also looked at life in the ocean. Did you know Robert Ballard is trying to get to the very bottom of the ocean? Stay tuned for updates. We also looked more in depth at the countries of South Asia. There are a lot of people in India!

Happy Thursday! Did you miss me yesterday? Sorry about that, things got very busy very quickly and I didn't think about it until late last night. Today we started a new section for science and geography. We also got Billy chasing the Ghost Coon and we did some work with problems with a lot of negative signs in them. We also had  very robust discussions in Christ Light today. It was great! By the way we averaged a B on both our geo and sci tests. We also average a B+ on our map test. I gave the students 4 freebies, and some people even ended up with extra credit. Way to go!

So meet again. Today we heard about how Little Ann almost died, but Billy is able to save her with the help of God. We also did some more work on graphing functions. We also averaged a B on our geography test. Hopefully we do that well on science tomorrow. Things in English continue to be indefinite. Indefinite pronouns that is.

Welcome back to Monday. Today we took our pretest in math so we can be ready to go fro Wednesday's test. We also corrected the review so we can be ready fro Tuesday's geo test. We are looking at different musical note and rest values in music. We also are working on indefinite pronouns for English. We also learned that Valdimir Putin won the election to be president of Russia. What we don't know is how the opposition is going to deal with that. We also heard more about Billy and his dogs.
