Good day! You should have gotten a note regarding parent/student/teacher conferences. It is going to be a bit different for 7th grade due to my son's surgery. Thanks for your flexibility! (By the way, if you are more interested in Thaddeus' condition, I do send out periodic email updates that you can subscribe to. I also post these to a blog at http://thaddeusupdates.blogspot.com/.)

Today we started our presentations for geography. So far I am well pleased with the work the students have done. We are learning a lot about some of the countries in Latin America. We also worked on borrowing when subtracting fractions.

Hey! Sorry about not blogging Friday. It got hectic after school and it just didn't happen. I am back today though! We were talking about the climates of Latin America. They have a bit of everything! Don't forget that pesky El Nino. We also looked at the different shapes that crystals can form. We took a math test and we studied helping verbs.

Walking field trip on Thursday. Pray for no rain!
