Moving Ahead So Life Won't Pass Me By

Welcome back everyone for another four-day week at Woodbrook Elementary.

The usual trappings of a normal week will occur--although still no spelling (we will have Caesar's English once again this time), and the kids will also be asked to know the states and capitals of the American Northeast (a.k.a. New England).

I was really proud of how the kids did on their Caesar's English last week--a vast improvement overall from the previous lesson. And to my Math class, I was really proud of how well you all did on your test as well.

Tomorrow we won't exactly start a new chapter in Math. We are going to pick up the residual lessons from Chapter 3, the ones that didn't really gel with the rest of the chapter. These lessons are about Greatest Common Factor, Lowest Common Multiple, factor trees, etc. This should be a relatively short "chapter" of Math, and we will probably have a quiz-test (quest) next Tuesday, and begin Chapter 4 the following day.

We will be doing Science this week, delving further into space, and setting up the following week for our human skeleton/NASA robot funky little chapter, which has some really sweet little experiments involved.


Lastly this evening, Chase, PJ, and Ty (and I will bet this is the first time Chase has ever thought about how long his first name is...) want to urge you to sign up for the Ghosts and Goblins Run, which takes place this Saturday morning. This will benefit the Carmel Clay Education Foundation. The cutoff is October 22, which reminds me--I need to sign up tomorrow! Nothing like waiting until the last second, huh?
