HAPPY THANKSGIVING! May God bless you all during this mini break from school. A few tidbits for you.

Research papers were handed out today. The quality ranged but those who made the corrections I suggested on their rough drafts, did quite well. Nice job!

The last few math sets handed in were not the quality we were looking for in most cases, so we had a corrections day today. The only assignment was to work on fixing what he or she got wrong on the past few lessons. I managed to get today's corrected and handed back during that time as well, and then took lots of questions to help students get it right the second time.

The students did a nice job on the memory work hymn from last week. We will be working on Christmas service things starting next week.

Safe travels (and hunting) and God bless your holiday.

Welcome to a snowy Monday. We looked at converting decimals to fractions and percents and all around. We also worked on an open book science test. There was some confusion about the test being timed with the timer on the board so we will need work on that a bit tomorrow. We tried something new for geography. The students were put in groups and each group was assigned a section of section two of chapter 12. Each group joined a shared Google presentation and put in the information they thought was the most important. You can check out the result here. We had a few hiccups, but in the end it worked pretty well.  

Please encourage your student to take his/her time on math. Thanks!

Welcome! Your students were subjected to watching me murder a helpless green pepper plant today. It gave it's live (it was terminal anyhow) to show us how plant roots hang on to soil and help stop soil erosion. It will receive a fitting burial in my garbage can at home. 

I am going to be observing in other schools tomorrow, doing my best to steal as many good ideas as possible. 

We took our spelling bee preliminary test today.

Welcome to a blustery Wednesday. We took our math test today and a DMLC Meet Math test as well. We did pretty well on Meet math> Hopefully we did well on the regular test as well. We corrected our science tests from Friday as well. We had a wide spread of scores on the test, but we did have about 32% of the class get in the A range. Good job to those students. We took some time to talk about soil today. Tomorrow might get a little dirty.

Tuesday has sprung on us again. Today we looked at an interesting map. A map that shows us the countries that Great Britain has not invaded at some time or another. There are only 22. That explains the far reaching impact of their culture! We also looked at how low birth rates and high immigration are changing Europe. We did an investigation on box and whisker plots. The video in the previous post helps to explain that.
