The First Week of School 2007

We are up and running at full speed in all of our academic areas. Our first 3rd-5th grade assembely was this morning and it went very well. We learned about eight national holidays that are celebrated in the United States including Labor Day. We will be interviewing someone at home about the work they do and writing an informational article, first draft. We worked on building rectangular arrays with tiles up to 25. Some students need to finish it for homework. In History Alive today we focused on social skills. We learned about getting the facts before a conflict occurs. In Science we learned about the states of matter. Specifically about the cycle of water from a solid to a liquid to a gas. A lot of students had a lot of questions about dry ice and liquid nitrogen. Dr. Hallock from UT will be bringing both to demonstrate. We had our first Friday drawing and went on a virtual spy misson with Ms. Hanna in art. What a great first week! No school on Monday. See you Tuesday!
