It is Monday. The sun is shining! I hope you had a good day. We had a tough time focussing today but we had a good time getting outside!

We talked about stars and constellations today. We also learned how we find out some of the information we know about starts. We also wrapped up the physical geography of East and South East Asia. Wednesday we will take a look at the history and culture of the region. Well, a very brief overview since that is a LOT of history to cover. We also worked through a pretest in order to prepare for the math test tomorrow. The students were given a copy of the pretest to work off of to make sure they know how to do each kind of problem.

Apparently yesterday making us think warmer weather was here was actually an April Fools joke. Oh well! I still love my WI! We spent a lot of time working together on some group things. We also worked on using two unit multipliers to convert things. Unfortunately, we were better on finding shortcuts than following directions, but there was some good thinking going on.
