Finals and quarterly tests

Howdy! Believe it or not we are almost to the half-way mark of the year. That means Midterm Exams for Algebra and Geometry and Quarterly tests for course 2 and 3.

Algebra will start their finals on Monday. Geometry will start on Wednesday.

We will be wrapping up our rock study with a test on Thursday next week. Also this next week we will start into the study of the rest of Africa.

Enjoy the warm weekend, Scribner and S-P

Thanks to our cookie crew! Danny, Ms. Donnelly, Lily, and Caleb. The proceeds from the bake sale are going to go toward camp expenses. Yeah camp!

Have a great weekend everyone, Scribner and S-P

Haiti Earthquake

Take a few moments to connect our work on plate techtonics with current events. Go to the USGS site and search Haiti earthquake. There are some great maps showing the strike-slip fault that precipitated the quake and the subduction zones around the area between the Caribbean and North American plates.

Luckily for the low islands in the area a tsunami did not result.

Take a moment and send positive energy to the living things of the area. Especially the rescue workers who will attempt to save lives in the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Then give an extra hug to your own people tonight and be thankful for the blessings that surround us.

Howdy,

Nice to see the Sun Today!

Course 2 and 3 are starting chapter 7 today. Look for the chapter guide to be placed in math binders today. Organization tip: If your binder is overwhelming put chapter 6 work in your student file. New format: We are putting the calender on the chapter guide to help busy folks. Parent signature required.

Algebra folks have the test on Friday 1-. Look for the Practice test tomorrow.

Social Studies Groups are finishing up the study of Chapter 19 today with three days to study and get the information pulled together for the test on Friday.
