Week of February 22-February 26

I cannot believe that it is already the end of February. Time is flying by. I hope you all heard good things about camp. We still are going to get billed so we need to keep fundraising so we will not have to pay more than the $70.00. Any ideas? I was thinking we do another Chevy's fundraiser. We made $545 last time. Another thing that I have been wanting to do is set up our aquariums. It costs money to get the animals. We have decided we want frogs, lizards, and fish. If you want to donate any money or if you know of where to get a good deal on these please let me know.

Now for this weeks agenda:

Language Arts:
This week we are really concentrating on public speaking and listening to others when giving a speech. We will also be doing our normal vocabulary work along with grammar. If you go to the website www.wordlywise.com there are a bunch of games that will help the students learn the vocabulary. The book is book 6 and we are on list 14. This will also show you the words we are learning so that you can help your student study for Friday's test along with encourage your student to start using the words in their everyday vocabulary.

Math:
We are working on multiplying and dividing fractions.

Ancient Civilization:
We are done with Egypt and heading towards Rome this week.

Science:
We are finishing up learing about the ocean floor. We did a fantastic clay model of the ocean floor. I cannot wait until everyone gets to see them. We still need about 12 more 2 liter bottles so we can make volcanoes.

MAPS:
Art on Monday and PE on Friday. Please send your student to class on Friday with the appropriate shoes.

Thank you all for you support. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
