Merry Christmas! Thanks everyone for the awesome presents! See you tomorrow for our 9 am practice at WLA!

Thursday, December 19, 2013

Welcome once again! Please remember to have your student dress up for our service tomorrow in their Sunday best! It would be great to not see any jeans or sweatshirts. As we honor God with our voices, we can also honor him with our clothing.

We had a great practice today and are looking forward to the service tomorrow. Don't forget we practice on Saturday at WLA.

We had some geography work today but most of the students should have finished it in class with their group. If not, please have that handed in tomorrow.

Please remember that math is due tomorrow even though we won't have time for a math class. Thanks!
Please remember to dress up on Friday, bring your gifts and snacks by Friday as well. Thanks!

We had a hurricane in the classroom today! Good thing it was on the screen and not for real! We also talked about some of the issues around the debate about if the Rosetta Stone should be kept in England or sent to Egypt. We also figured out how to make ratio boxes to help us set up our math problems.

Happy Monday! We had a extra long geography lesson today and it was STILL too short. One class period is not enough to cover the history of the middle east and Egypt. We gave it a shot though. We did some videos and some reading and covered what we could. We also learned to Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally as she practices her order of operations. We also heard a few more myths. One even had a flood that destroyed an entire area for its wickedness and only a couple of people survived because of their piety. Mmmm. Sounds familiar. We ended that day with a great practice for our Christmas service. Almost time!

Happy Friday! My apologies for no blog the past two days! Yesterday was rough because of being gone all day and Wednesday, I wrote one but it didn't publish! (Probably user error.)

Today we had a good practice, looked over our science sheets, touched up our goe section and watched some Greek myths. We also used some scientific notation to work with large numbers, and started a new Vocabulary Workshop unit.

Have a great weekend!

So they tell me it's Monday. We are working hard on the Christmas service. It would be a help if students would look over the words on their own as well. We studied how to use unit multipliers in math today. We also started our weather chapter. A ton of info here! We started talking about myths, fables and legends as well.

Happy Advent! Today we looked at air movement around the globe and the impact it has on us. After that we worked on our songs for the Christmas Eve service. We also reviewed changing fractions to decimals to percents and the other way around. We also learned more about the recent train crash in New York and hot to combine short choppy sentences in a variety of ways.

Remember that we need everyone here by no later than 7:15 tomorrow and bring a cold lunch. We will eat on the bus on the way back home.
