Sorry it took so long!

I had trouble posting to my blog because one must have a Google account now. Therefore, Google won and I lost! I am very sorry for the inconvience.


The World of Nations trip was so good! Thank you to all of the parents who help. The students really loved it.

We are hoping for a trip to EPCOT but rules in the county have changed. We must get approval from downtown. If, and when we send out the notices there will be 100 spots for students and chaperones at $70.00. This will include Bus, Lunch and EPCOT. What a deal! We will go on June 9, if it is approved by downtown.

We are having a good time with motion, speed, acceleration, and many new terms. We have been working on Chapter 18.There will be a test on Chapter 18 by Friday (B) or Monday(A). The students have been given a pretest to help them with the terms and concepts they need to learn.



Because of long and wonderful presentations by second and third periods during the body system, those two classes got behind on Motion. Each class has spent a week during Team Time catching up. Now second and third are caught up to the others.

I am having trouble with students reading the material. They are going to the questions and not reading or taking notes. This is causing studying for test to be hard. The students have an easy pretest and the post test is more writing and explaining why, than choosing answers. If, you could help me with this problem it would be wonderful. Thank you!
