Ground Control to Major Tom

Okay, today we were kind of all over the place. We took Theme Test 11. We did some language arts time--some writing and some reading (the kids either read about Mount Everest or the Titanic, so I guess you could say the theme was enormity). The kids did a very cool Science experiment to replicate the messages sent from NASA (the control) through the radio waves (transmission) to Mars (where the builders were). We did a little bit of Social Studies (with the kids taking notes) about the colonists' unwillingness to pay their taxes if they weren't going to be properly represented in Parliament. And rightly so on their parts, I should add.

For Math, we got ready for tomorrow's big test. We took tons of notes, and they will be allowed to use them on the test. I am ready for chapter 8 to be over!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Fat Tuesday.
