Happy first Thursday of the year! Today we finished our discussion on how to treat people who persecute or mock us for our faith. We also worked with making equations out of story problems using percents or fractions. We are continuing to learn more about Russia back in Stalin's time and today. We are doing more practice in working with quotes and learned the three different types of earthquake waves.
Our new mission this month is Japan. We will collect our first offering tomorrow.
Spelling: test 16 tomorrow
Math: set 60: do A-G skip 1-7, 11, 12,15,16, 22-30
Geo: worksheet for tomorrow
English: worksheet for tomorrow
Science: quiz
Lit: read BACKGROUND section of the hand out
Music: nothing

Hey everybody, I need a little help. I would like to do a science demonstration but it requires small toy building blocks. I am thinking something like the square wooden ones that have the alphabet on them, something like that. We need to be able to build with them but they need to be small enough to work with, so the big cardboard ones will not do the job. If you have any I could borrow, would you please get them to school by Friday? Thanks!

Happy New Year!
Let me start off by saying a great big THANK YOU for everyone's generous Christmas gifts. I got some neat individual gifts in addition to the class gift of a gift certificate to a meat market. That may not sound exciting to you, but for me it doesn't get too much better than firewood or meat!
Now, on to business.
Today we looked at how things are in Russia in modern times. We checked out the life of Eric Blair, better known as George Orwell. We will be reading Animal Farm which is really about the Russian revolution and the aftermath. The really interesting part is that we can see now how Orwell's predictions about the future of the USSR came true. We also worked on lines of symmetry and functions in math. For science there was "a whole lot of shaking going on" as we studied earthquakes. "We also learned," the teacher said, "the rules for quotations."
Spelling: unit 16 for Thursday, test Friday
CL: memory work from lesson 6 for Friday
Math: set 58: skip 2, 6 no diagram, 7,22,27,30
