Happy Monday!

We are back to our normal schedule!

Here is what we did today:

Math: We discussed lesson 31 on pairs of lines. The students were assigned problem set 31 due on Tuesday.

Science: We discussed lesson 3 from chapter 2 on organ systems. We discussed the muscular and skeletal systems. The students had a worksheet covering the information that we discussed today and it is due on Tuesday.

Social Studies: Our next states and capital quiz will be over the following states: Idaho - Boise, Illinois - Springfield, Indiana - Indianapolis, Iowa - Des Moines, Kansas - Topeka. The quiz will be on Friday. Today we began chapter two dealing with early civilizations pages 56-57. The students are to record the first four vocabulary words from this lesson.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we began a new book, running Out of Time. This is an excellent book and we will have great discussions during the reading of the book. The students are to read the first 5 chapters and be ready for a quiz on Wednesday. This book has some similarities to The City of Ember which we finished reading last week.

In Mr. H's class we read from the Wishgiver pages 149-162.
