We are family!


In Wellness today we discussed how a family is like a team. Honest, respectful communication and cooperation are important in a healthy and loving family. We shared stories on how our families use cooperation and compromise to reach a common goal. Pancakes and syrup were the topic of conversation in Mrs. H's house this morning! Conflicts in families can happen over anything!

Math classes reviewed adding and subtracting decimals. Mrs. H was very impressed with the students' homework. We are trying hard in Math class and producing excellent results.

The science classes enjoyed an United Streaming Video on Volcanoes. The video reviewed the three different types of volcanoes. It was interesting to see volcanic eruptions in actions. We also viewed all of the ways lava can spew from the vent of a volcano!

Today in Social Studies we finished and reviewed our section on natural resources. We compared Europe to Russia in terms of natural resources. It’s too bad Russia has such a harsh climate, large size, and few navigable rivers, because they include some of the world’s largest natural resource reserves! Miss C is very confident about our quiz tomorrow. We had a great participation and discussion today!

We continued to work on our turkey essays today in writing. They are coming along great. Students are getting really creative in their new role as a talking turkey. I know I’m not the only one excited to hear the finished products next week!
