Baker Isaac Treats the Class

Thanks to Isaac and Mrs. Barreto for treating the class to the results from his science experiment today. We enjoyed fresh baked bread as Isaac ran an experiment determining which yeast rose his bread the highest. The results were excellent!

We added a Latin test to the calendar today. It will be on February 26th.

Students should be crunching numbers and developing graphic forms to present their data for their experiments. Please help them to gather what they need. See the Science Fair packet for further information. The fair will take place on the 21st. Our class needs to provide two crockpot/casserole type dinners and a dessert for the 10 judges. Thank you for your help with this event. Food can be brought to my classroom by 5:45 that evening. If you want to send it to school in the morning, that will work also.

We are watching with zeal the Yukon Quest up in Alaska. Hugh Neff and Allen Moore are daily and sometimes hourly changing out the lead. It has been exciting to watch, and scholars can go on the website in the evenings to see the daily uploaded photos of the mushers and their dogs.

We have great news concerning the 6th grade class as a whole. We have achieved SILVER STATUS with the Math Counts class competition. We will receive the silver trophy for our trophy case, as we did last year, unless we earn the gold! We will take the gold test next week. Also, this Saturday our top mathletes will compete at Weber State. There will be an update on Saturday evening as to how we performed at the competition. This is a very competitive event, but it is an excellent experience for our scholars. They are the youngest in the competition, so whatever they accomplish is huge!

During the French Revolution the women marched in the streets demanding bread....today we earned it! Thanks Isaac!
