Exchange City

It is finally here - We leave for Exchange City on Wednesday - April 1st. Thank you to all for your fund-raising efforts - The Talent Show was a HUGE success. We raised enough money so Exchange City is only costing us $10 each! WAY TO GO! I will plan tp post pictures later in the week.

FUND - RAISING

VERY IMPORTANT!

Talent Show - Tuesday @ 6pm - tickets are $3. We are also asking that you bring a "store-bought" backed good to sell at the Talent Show.

I am very proud of all the students - the ones that are participating and the ones that have donated their time to help make the talent show a success. This is one of the biggest fund-raisers we will do - with everyone's help it will be successful!

In like a Lion

Welcome to March! I guess it decided to come in like a lion and lets hope it will go out like a lamb. I do have to say that I was a little disappointed with the Problem of the Week (POW). No one tried to solve the problem and the more that I think about it I wonder why? Is it because the problem was too hard? Is is because you thought it was doing extra work? or Is it because you forgot about it? So, I've decided to have some sort of prize for the students that solve the problem correctly... I think that we will have a class meeting tomorrow regarding what you think would make it worth your time. Post your ideas to have them considered at tomorrow's meeting!

A preview to the upcoming week:
*Math - Chapter 4 - Section C - lessons 4-7, 4-8, and 4-9, a review and then we will get ready for a final quiz and a chapter test.

*Reading - We just finished theme 3 -a Look into the Past - Check out our names in Greek!
