I'm hoping that this week we will have a normal schedule. I don't mind a 2-hour delay or two (or three), because we actually manage to get just as much done on those days as we would any other day--as hard as that is to admit. I guess it's something about having to buckle down and get through everything we have to get finished.
While I'm not sure what the actual schedule will be, I'm going to go ahead with the plan that everything will go as planned. This week should be a normal, full, spelling test week. My plan right now is to have not only a spelling test this week, but also a Social Studies test on Friday. In Social Studies, we've been talking about the beginnings of the various colonies--long before they decided to become "United" with a capital U. We have been taking notes in the kids' new Social Studies notebooks, which they should be bringing home along with their study guide by Wednesday at the latest.
This week we will also be continuing our Language Arts unit on water--both the ecological side as well as the scientific side. I think I have at least one student talked into pursuing a college degree in fluid dynamics engineering (at least the fifth grade version of said student).
We will have a Math Quiz on 6.1-6.7 on Friday. This will be more of a "Quest", as chapter 6 is a long chapter. The jury is still out on whether we will have one big test at the end of chapter 6, or just two quests. More than likely, we will be having one big test at the end of chapter 6 before heading into the much shorter chapter 7.
That's all for now. Hope you all had a great weekend and here's to a great week.
