Wednesday Sept 19, 2012

Field Trip:  Most forms have come in, but we are still in need of about 4-6 more drivers.  If you don't want to hike with us, we can still use your assistance for driving to and from the parking lot at Rose Swanson.

English:  Mr. Martin's English class started a lesson on "Dress Ups" today.  Each student wrote one sentence of a story and passed it around the room.  We then chose one of the verbs (such as went, walk, came) and made it into a strong verb.  For example, "Mr. Martin walked into the room" was turned into "Mr. Martin stumbled into the room".  On Thursday, we will work with "ly adverbs, quality adjectives and the who/which clause"  All rough copies of the Dear Mom letter from chapter 1 of Airborn should have been handed in

Science:  Today we will be working on a tour of the Science Lab, trying to locate common science equipment

Math 7:  We started working on the rules for division by 2,4,5,and 8 today

Socials:  Mr. Martin's class was given a blank world map, and they spent the afternoon finding a non-political map to duplicate.  (A map that doesn't just show country borders)  The goal they are working on is to use a map to illustrate other types of information.  Some students chose to show world populations, annual income, rainfall, etc.  This map will be due Monday.
