We hit the ground running this morning working through Latin for the test tomorrow, the Giver and finding the area of triangles. We will be working with area of polygons for quite awhile and students are working in teams at school using the following area tool:

Students are welcome to use the tool at home and discover what they can and can not do with it. It is a helpful interactive tool.
We then moved to our history unit on capitalism, socialism, and communism and are learning about the law of supply and demand, the classes in Europe, and once again, Charles Dickens. This is especially appropriate considering we are finishing Tale of Two Cities tomorrow. :)
This afternoon students are working on their Call of the Wild projects and then back to the circulatory system in science. Literature projects are due on Wednesday. The History test that we were planning for Thursday will be moved to next Tuesday. We will finish up lymphatic and circulatory over this week and next. Students will have a test on this unit early in March.
Sometime over the next 48 hours Noah Tinkey, my newest grandson will be born. Mrs. Lori Cardinal will be stepping in to sub for me when and if I need her.
Friday is our assembly for the month of March. Come join us for the introduction of our next foundation stone and the celebration of the last; Cooperation.
Have a great week!
