Welcome back. Today we looked at the impact our growing population has on the earth. This fit in very well with what we have been talking about in geography and even used some of the same terms. Speaking of geography, we tried our Africa presentations again and did much better this time around. Good job! We also looked more at writing scientific notation correctly, and how to fix it when it is done incorrectly.

Welcome one and all to the extravaganza that is 7th grade. Today we checked out pollution in the ocean. Most of it actually starts on the land! We also discussed how dirt could actually be polution. Then we took another swing at our geography project. We will spend a little more time on it tomorrow and see where we are at. For math we took our test. Hopefully we worked carefully. I noticed on our assignment for today that we had several cases of doing the wrong problem, subtracting instead of adding, multiplying wrong and the like. Hopefully we didn't do any of that on our test!

Today we started having Mr. Herkstroeter supervising recess so I could answer math questions during recess. I got no takers today, but Thursday will present another opportunity.

Welcome back to school after Super Bowl weekend. I think the class was still pumped up from the big game. Hopefully tomorrow we will be back into the swing of school. We presented our geography projects today. Unfortunately we had a tough time following the directions and putting enough thought into the different parts. I think we will need to take another crack at it. In math today we had mixed results. While most of the class got a B or better, we are still struggling with being consistently careful with our calculations. Our lesson today was on ratios where we knew the total but had to find one of the parts. Fortunately, we solve them pretty much the same way that we solve the other kind. Unfortunately, many in the class did not take advantage of the extra work time to work on math or ask questions. Remember that starting tomorrow, I will be staying in the room during recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays in order for interested students to have a chance to get more help on math. We also finished our Christ Light book and will be starting a new one on Thursday.

For our field trip on Friday, please have the students dress nicely. Also, remember to send money along for lunch. Thanks!
