Back for more are you? Fantastic! Today we starting things off with a good Christ Light discussion. We talked about the negative things that we often hear about kids and having kids. Then we reviewed what God says. Psalm 127:3-5 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

In science talked about sanitary landfills. Seems like a contradiction, doesn't it? Then we talked about more countries in Africa. We figured out that the key to success is a stable government.Golf in the gym was a lot of fun. For math we reviewed problems from the last two lessons and then looked at the new lesson.

Today we ran out of time for all of our geo presentations so we will have to solve all of Africa's problems tomorrow, but we did discuss our use of the land and the impact on it. We took a math test and talked about the rough draft for the paper as well. We discussed health fitness vs. skills fitness. Tomorrow we will get to do golf in the gym!

Happy snowy Tuesday! We started a new geo project today. We are going to solve all of Africa's problems. Well, maybe not, but we are going to learn about a few and investigate some possible solutions. We also talked about pollution in the oceans. Most of the pollution in the ocean gets there from the land. We also worked on finding the area of trapezoids and complex shapes.

Welcome to Ash Wednesday. Today we spend some extra time thinking about all of the things that Jesus did  to save us purely out of his grace, his undeserved love. May God bless your reflections tonight and every Wednesday this Lenten season.

Today we watched some videos about ocean life to get us prepared for Monday when we will go through the section on ocean life. We also did a little review by correcting our geography. We then took some extra time to contemplate the meaning of love this valentines day. Oh all right, we went to break early and ate candy. We got Bilbo and the gang up to the secret entrance by reading the chapter in class. No summary this chapter. Happy Ash Wednesday/Valentines. We also took a pause from new material in math today and worked in groups to review problems from the last section.

Welcome to Tuesday! We checked out the ocean floor today. Turns out it is deep and has lots of useful stuff in it, much of which is just too far down to go get. We also finished our section on the culture of parts of Africa. Then we multiplied some negative and positive numbers. We also worked with predicate nouns as well.

Thursday, what to say about Thursday. I got nothing. Today we took our math test. We managed an average (mean) of B-. Not too shabby. We are still making some silly mistakes in our multiplying and dividing, but we seem to slowly be getting better. We also talked about the history of much of Africa. We focused on the long term affect of European colonization. We also did a demo in science to see how a density current works. It started off slowly, but worked fairly well in the end.

Happy Tuesday. The temp is supposed to stay above 0 for a while! We took our geo test today. Hopefully it went well. We looked at ocean currents today and why they are so important to life on the earth. In math we spent some time going over problems that we got wrong on the last to sets, and then worked through the test form A with partners. We will do it for real on Thursday. Tomorrow we are investigators! Everybody had their note cards today, and did a nice job. The only thing I saw was that each card should only have one idea on it. It was neat to look over the cards. I am getting excited to learn many new things when I read these reports. (I know they are really good when I get done reading it and realize I forgot to correct it!)

Howdee! We averaged an A- on our science test. Terrific! We are diving into the ocean now. We will take our geography test tomorrow and then head into the history and religions of Africa. We worked on finding the volume of a rectangular prism today and will work through form A test in class tomorrow for math. We are also working on a nutrition review in health.

A team girls and boys now have a game on next week Monday. Check the calendar!
