Hello and thanks for dropping by. If you haven't gotten the TWO field trip forms yet, please ask your student. Today we learned a bit about what happened with hurricane Katrina. We also got to work on the US standard measuring system. We got some extra unplanned study time and worked on possessive pronoun adjectives.
Remember we sing in church in the 10:45 service on Sunday the 30th.

Hey there! We took some time to work on our geo projects today. Hopefully we are making some progress.  We spent a lot of time on science talking about atomic bonding (not bombing). We watched some good illustrations. We also watched some videos showing how reactive elements with one extra electron are.

Hey everybody. We took our science test today. We didn't do quite as well as we wanted to but we will keep working at it! We talked about life in the US and Canada as well as probability and mental health. We also spent some time working though our English together as a class. It was quite a breeze apparently!

Welcome to the first Friday of our first 8 day week. What? It wasn't 8 days? It sure felt like it! The kids are wiped out after a fun and action packed week. It will be good for them to get some rest and get back to the routine next week. We spent some productive time in the lab today getting started on our country presentations. We also worked on more story problems. Our math scores today were not where we wanted them (wonder if that has anything to do with a certain sports team playing last night) so we took some extra time going thought problems today in class. We also had our closing ceremony for our Olympic week. Would you believe the gold medal winner was, oh wait I better not ruin it for you. I'll let your child tell you.

Hello all. One quick announcement. 7th and 8th grade will be taking a field trip to the Point Beach Energy Center on October 18th. More details will follow.

Today we tried to settle back in the groove after our special day yesterday. Thanks to all the wonderful folks that made yesterday so special. We had a nice discussion in math today about why we are getting more wrong than we probably should be. The students suggested (really, it wasn't me that brought it up) that it might be due to rushing and not checking our work. Let's keep trying to do the best job we can! We then looked at some more story problems. We also are working on a paragraph in the third person. Over all we did well on our first person paragraphs. We did some review in geography and will have the study guide to correct in science tomorrow.

We had a Grand Grand Day. The Olympic games went well also! Thanks God for agreeable weather!
We have no new assignments for today but there are a few things due tomorrow from earlier this week like Spelling and memory work. There is also Lit and Music for Friday to work on!

Have a great night.

Happy day to you! We did a nice job on our geography test today. We also looked at each other's rough drafts for English. Hopefully we were able to help each other out. We also looked at story problems in math. The problems are quite simple, as long as we figure out what the problem actually is of course. We also heard about some protests in Egypt at the US embassy. We will have to keep an eye on that! Pray that God is with our soldiers there.

Please remember that picture order forms are due back THIS FRIDAY!

Well here we are on a rainy Friday. We started the day with a chat about expectations and the students really seemed to be making an effort to meet my goals. Thanks! We learned about Mozart today. He started to teach himself to play the piano at the age of 4 and composed his first musical piece before he was 6! We also took a math test. If the speed with which the class got done with the test is any indication, then it was pretty easy. We also did some work for Grand Day.

Just an FYI. Thaddeus had some tests done a few weeks back and it was decided due to deteriorating oxygen distribution that his third surgery needed to be moved up significantly. The surgery is now scheduled for Tuesday October 23rd. This will cause us to need to have some flexibility in scheduling parent teacher conferences. I will be in touch when the date gets closer.

Hello everyone. It was a bit of a wild day back today. Some students seemed to have forgotten we were back in school! We had a good day none the less. We reviewed the US and Canada a bit and will be ready for the test tomorrow. We also decided that we need to work a bit more on being careful on our math assignments. We looked at fractions and measuring with rulers. Really just a lot of counting. In English we went over the different parts of classifying sentences. We had a hard time working together at times, but brought it all together in the end.

Spelling: Unit 2 for Thursday, test Friday

CL: Memory work for Pastor got moved to Thursday, so the CL memory work will move to Friday
