Smooth Tuesday

Howdy all. We moved from rocks to minerals today. Good times, eh? We're specifically looking at how rocks are formed compared to minerals, and the three rock classifications. The kids have a good running start on rocks and minerals. Many have offered to bring in their own collections.

This week's math exams were much better than last weeks'. The last exams were an accumulation of 100 lessons, so material was all over the board. This week's was focused on our last 10 lessons, so recollection of content was much easier for many.

Finally, we've begun our work with poetry. The kids experimented with similes today, and we had some very interesting pieces. we'll continue this exploration of verse for the next few weeks.

The kids are responsible for:

-Reading Log
-continue with WWII and science reports
-no math tonight

Respectfully, Mr. B
