This week, May 12th to 15th


The UV index is climbing so put on your sunscreen before school. We will explore what that means, scientifically speaking, tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the last day for deposits for camp. Let's sell Freezies on Wednesday and Thursday to help raise that money for your deposit, if need be.

This Friday is a Pro D day. I am going to a workshop on Math Instructional Techniques...I hope that you will enjoy your very long, 4 day weekend :-).

But, before you can race off you have to do a bit of work...

Academics:

Math: We will solve algebraic equations with fractions using a variety of strategies including models. No check up this week, but there will be a check up next week.
Science: We will conclude our Optics unit and we will have a unit final on May 14th.
Social Studies: We will continue to look at Art during the Renaissance specifically how the philosophy of Humanism shaped the Art of the time. You will be given research time for your projects and you will be expected to finish your research pages for marking. This includes preparing a comprehensive list of references. After we have collected a set of notes, we will then order and organize our facts into a rough essay this and next week.

For today's entry, the word is: UV which stands for _____________.

For those of you who enjoy wearing a cap, don't end up like this guy....

    1. Very cool. Could you send me that video of you demoing the siege machine and I will post it. If you could haul the monster to school, it would be fun to play with. No school walls are allowed to be smashed.
