February 28th, 2013

Sorry about not posting yesterday.  I was soooo tired and grouchy that a nap was in order.  Today was much better!

On that note, I hope you get some sleep today.  Sleep generally elludes us during Science Fair week!

SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS DUE. TOMORROW IS THE FAIR.  MANY STUDENTS BROUGHT THEM IN TODAY.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JUDGE SOME PROJECTS TOMORROW, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT keriwahl@yahoo.com.

Some students took the Top 20 Cities in the USA test this morning.  Those who didn't elected to take it tomorrow morning.  STUDY THE CITIES!

LANGUAGE ARTS TEST TOMORROW.

We completed our vocabulary worksheets and wrote and shared objective and subjective tense sentences in grammar.  We read more in Crispin, including a very detailed description of a hanging.  Eek!  Asta's son has now decided he has something to live for.  HOMEWORK IS TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER IN THE PACKET.  Students will get new packets tomorrow.

MATH HOMEWORK IS WORKSHEET 9:1:A.  We had a lesson on horizontal X lines and vertical Y lines.  We learned that to find the length of a line, we compare coordinates and find the difference between the X or the Y, when the coordinate are: (X, Y).

After lunch, students went to Foreign Language.  After that, we had class presentations of History and Book Reports.  Yesterday I introduced the students to puzzlemaker.com.  There are many online tools students can use to make reports.  I'd like to build their confidence and reduce their workload with some homework project items.  Technology is one way to do that.

After much singing, our Jazz player, Marvin Williams, made a visit to the school.  We inundated him with questions, and many students were interviewed by FOX News.  To find out more information about our player, go to http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2797/marvin-williams .

We went skiing and to minicourses.
