Good day, everyone.

First things first, the science quiz has been moved from tomorrow to Thursday!  We just didn't have time today to review.

We had Beyond Recycling with Mrs. Vickers this afternoon; our focus today was Earth's Water.

In Math this morning, we started converting measurements using the metric system.  This will take some doing, but the kids are doing better already.  This is a good lesson on perseverance, as it can be very frustrating.  No homework has been assigned for tonight, but reviewing the roots and prefixes would certainly be beneficial.

I just found a couple of really good videos that explain converting metric measurements pretty well. Check them out!

We also started a Hard & Fast Rules (Language Arts) open book "quiz".  Students are using their notes to help them edit a variety of sentences.

Tomorrow is 'dress your teacher' day ... be kind:)

Have wonderful evening.  The sun is out at the moment... enjoy!
