Today we are reviewing chapters 8 and 9 in science. Erosion! We also looked at sales tax, unit price, and tips. We are reviewing participles one more time before we get into gerunds on Wednesday.

Remember our field trip tomorrow. Pack some snacks and water, and some money for fast food on the way home. Don't forget to wear your Faith shirt!

Today we divided some decimals, took a science test, and learned about participles. (They look like verbs but act like adjectives, such as running water.) We also saw one more version of the Christmas Carol in preparation for our field trip on Tue.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Drive safely and give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.

Our math lesson was very short which left lots of room for study time. Our English lesson was part two, so that left lots of room for study time. Since we did pretty well with those study times, we did a fun review of Vivaldi and Van Gogh. After lunch they students were given a study guide for science for the test tomorrow. The study guide this time, is in fact the test with the questions and answer choices in a different order. The test scores were very poor last time. Hopefully the students will use their study guides to get those scores up. In lit. the students were on their own for the next chapters this time.

I am moving the science test to Wed. We had a few more review sheets today. We did some easy conversions in math today. In English the students need to write a short essay on the oral lecture we had on Friday. In lit. we found Zero, but was it in time?

Today we practiced our song for Sunday! Please be here by 7:30 for a warm up. This song needs lots of energy, and so far we have gotten that, but only on the third time through. We also tried to draw on the right side of our brains by copying a Picasso drawing, but doing it upside down! We also worked with repeating decimals. We also got Stanley and Zero out in the dessert with no water or food. What will they do? On top of all that, can you believe it, we started on the Christmas service. It is closer than you think! :-) Anyhow . . .
