Earth, Wind, and Water!


Today in Science, we started to talk about the immense power of water and wind on the Earth's surface. Do you know what loess is? Tomorrow you can receive an extra credit point if you can tell Mrs. Haddox the correct information.

The Chapter 1 Test in Math is completed. The students will now embark upon the world of decimals. But, do not fear! Most of the information that we learned in Chapter 1 can be applied to decimals in Chapter 2.

Delicious slices of juicy tomato arrived today to complete our Sub Sandwich Book Reports! Most students have completed the sandwiches, but some are adding their finishing touches. These sandwiches must be turned in by Wednesday! We are keeping our Bud, Not Buddy books until Wednesday. At that time, we'll receive our new novel for McD's Cafe!

In Social Studies, we began our first Travel Journal assignment! Everyone chose their first country to research. We are using a program called CultureGrams for research, as well as on-line encyclopedia resources. Everyone is excited to learn more about their chosen country!
