Welcome back! Thanks for stopping by. We had a few big events today. One was our fist day of Junior Choir. Another was our science test. We averaged an 81%, which is a C+. The short answer questions gave us a bit of trouble, so we will need to take another look at those tomorrow. We also looked at how, to ; properly punctuate. sentences! We also had our first math test.

Our first map test is this Thursday. I have given the students a study guide map to practice on. On Thursday I will give them another map just like that one except the numbers will be rearranged. The students will then need to write down each state and capitol next to the number that represents that state on the map.

Our first Friday of the year went pretty well although one of our students had to phone a friend and then lost the million dollar question. However, since I don't have a million dollars to give him anyhow, it is just as well. We corrected our study guide and took a look at how our computerized test is going to go on Monday for geography. We also took a some time to compare our science reviews and make sure those are right before Monday comes along. We spent some time working with number lines and types of sentences. We also spent some time with Joseph Haydn. By age three his family knew he was going to be involved in music. Thaddeus Loves to dance, does that count? We listened to part of his Surprise, Toy and Farewell symphonies.
