Today we made it to the moon! Well at least on video. We also worked on using our right brain. We also played with the Pythagorean Formula again. Please remember to send back the notes indicating you have seen the midterms. Thanks!

It seems to be Tuesday today, despite what several students have told me. We had an investigation in math today that involved making cubes of various sizes to compare. We also looked at Japan. Of course some things are very different now from what are book says because of the earthquake and tsunami. We ran the mile again and saw some great improvement from many people. In science we started our new chapter rand talked about the earth. Tomorrow we will discuss the moon.

NO HOT LUNCH TOMORROW!

Today we took our field trip. We had an excellent time and most all of the information that was discussed ties in directly to our science class. Thanks to all the parents who came along. Our one presenter was having so much fun with liquid nitrogen that he even went 30 min longer than he was supposed to! We still made it back in time for a little bit of literature.

Assignments are the same as yesterday.

Please make sure your student has a lunch packed for tomorrow. We will leave after devotion and be back long before the school day is done.

Today we took our Science test and averaged a B+. We also reviewed for geography. The test will be Friday. In math we looked at how to solve equations that have exponents in them. We also discussed how to be wise consumers of health products. Watch out for quackery!

We will do the memory work on Friday, otherwise all assignments will be due as normal despite the field trip.

We had an easy one in math today. That gave us extra time to work on corrections and ask questions. Thanks to repetition we are making some progress!

Remember our field trip is this Thursday so we will need cold lunches. We will be taking cars and will be back before the end of the day.

Welcome to another Monday. Not too many left in the school year anymore! Where has the time gone! Today we finished up our science chapter. We also looked at how to find the slope of a line in math. We looked at the four principal parts of verbs and even checked out the emphatic form. (We did study the emphatic form.) We even heard about some storms that went through some place called Wisconsin last night. To end the day we got Bilbo out of the goblin caves, but not far enough!

We also had a very nice presentation by the president of MLC.

Welcome to another Friday edition of the 7th grade blog. Today we finished our Monet video and checked out a funky (for lack of a better word) web site about Monet's art work. Check it out at www.monet2010.com. We also had a nice short lesson in math (which was good since yesterdays was loooong) about taking care of literal equations. All that means is rearranging equations to solve for a different letter. If A = B + C then B = A - C. In geography we started looking at the history of East Asia and I went on and on about Korea, and Vietnam and World War II and so on and on. I just had so many things to share! We also got 'spacey' in science and looked at some of the space craft that NASA designed to work for 3 months to two years and were still going 30 YEARS LATER! (Speaking of rockets North Korea's failed. )In English we reviewed and then looked ahead to the principal parts of verbs. We will get fully into that on Monday.

Anyhow

Mission offering tomorrow. The offering this month goes to help Christian Aid and Relief. They have been active helping out communities around the world and even families in Fond du Lac.

The science quiz for tomorrow was handed out at the end of the day today. We will take it like a worksheet since it is so long and we didn't get to cover everything on it today.

The website for Literature just isn't working consistently enough for us to use. We will give up on myfakewall.com and move on to plan B.

Wednesday already! How are you all doing? Today we had some fun. We got to have a special birthday treat that my wife made for us for my birthday! We also got Bilbo captured by goblins. We got to play with parts of circles in math. We are also ready to go for our geo test tomorrow. We also discussed how to deal with irregular verbs and what the perfect tense means.

For literature, the website has been a bit iffy, so do the best that you can.

Welcome back! God has given us seasonable weather back to help us make it through these last few weeks of school. It sure felt like summer there for a while!

We enjoyed the Koine worship service at WLA today. We also got to walk there and back. It was a good warm up for when we start running the mile!

We averaged a B- on the science test.

Today I introduced the students to myfakepage.com. It is a web site that creates a private, fake facebook page. We will be using this for Literature. The students will be pretending that they are the main character and will be making status updates each time we read part of the story. It should be a fun way to have them show me they are following the story.

Have a blessed weekend remembering the suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord!
