In all of our subjects we are beginning some new topics. For HACE we will start off doing some basic first aid work and then we will be looking at substance use/abuse/prevention (this includes tobacco...always a hard subject for those parents who smoke). In L.A. we are beginning our last novel of the year. It is called Maniac Magee and it will take us right into the middle/end of June to finish. For math, we are moving into 'measurement' (specifically with geometry). I will have the students that Mrs. Erichuk previously had and she will have my former math group. For Science we are looking at 'Diversity of Life'. I am borrowing some decent microscopes from the middle school (well decent compared to what we have) so if anyone has a power bar they could contribute.....it would be much appreciated.
We are still working on Marsville. All projects must be finished by the end of this month as we are travelling to the Henry Grube Centre to show them off. In addition, each group must have a poster board giving information about their topic and research. Links to the local site and the national site are on this blog under 'Science - General'.
We go to gymnastics next week and we are tight for rides. Currently we have enough for 21 and, luckily, we only have 21 going. If you can drive....please let me know and we can spread the kids out a little. We leave the school at about 8:50 and arrive back by 10:15. You do not have to stay with them at the gym. We also need rides for the week after next as we go one more time.
