Today I am going to push publish, really I am!

Today we started a big project (don't worry, in class) for geography. We are reviewing the economies of Europe. Although, as we talk about economies, it ties in well with science, too. We are making large displays to show off important things about the economies of the four regions of Europe. We also are moving along in Vocabulary Workshop. In math we reviewed why 4/3 +3/4 does NOT equal 1. Speaking of NOT we also discussed not never using double negatives. I mean not ever using double negatives, or never using double negatives.  We also worked on decimal num.bers some more.

Tomorrow we walk to WLA for the play. Please make sure your student is appropriately attired including footwear. Faith apparel would be great but not required.

I had this written nice and early yesterday, but if you don't push the publish button, it doesn't publish apparently ;-)

Hi there once again. It has been great to see all of you over these three days. I really do see this as us working together for our children. Today we worked on decimal numbers. We also finished our copyright discussion. We took our quiz again and we did better this time, no surprise. We also made the continents move. Remember that on Friday we are walking to WLA after lunch to see the play. Have your student dress accordingly.

I had a bunch of great conferences last night. I look forward to some more tonight. I had some productive hours fixing technology issues last night and I look forward to a productive IT committee meeting tonight!

SPeaking of productive, we had a productive morning today. We plotted where the most recent earthquakes and volcanoes have taken place. It turns out we found a bit of a pattern. These things tend to happen in the same places. We then looked at where the plate boundaries of the earth's crust are and guess what we found? No, really, guess. I'll wait. Ask your student if you guessed right! We also took a look at the metric system. It really does make sense, but I don't see us changing any time soon, do you? We also started learning more about Martin Luther. Happy Reformation!
