Math 6- We have just finished metric conversions and we have a quiz on Friday on English conversions. All the kids have the sheet with the "need to know" conversions and most have flash cards to study from.
The assignment tonight is Lesson 18 (divisibility rules) this is an important lesson and it will help them if they know these rules by heart.
#1-8 all
#9 a, c
#10 a
#11 a, c, d, e
Science 6- We had a great lab on Monday and discussed it yesterday. They worked with different substances and checked for chemical reactions. We will be having a lab on acids and bases tomorrow and a titration lab sometime next week.
They will be taking a test on Thursday and we will begin a study guide today.
LA 7 and 8- We are working on "showing not telling" about characters, and today we are working on transitioning between dialogue, thought, and action in our narrative writing.
Spelling is ALL due on Friday, it is the purple packet.
Science 7 and 8- We are watching a documentary about the life cycle of stars. Along with the information presented in the show, I am asking them to pay attention to the ways that theory is presented as fact and how we know. It is my goal that they learn to critically watch science docs to discern what is a non-Biblical world view.
You will be getting a permission slip home very soon for our field trip at the end of the month. I will be needing quite a few drivers, so please be thinking about this.

They are to answer questions about the artice and I also give them a "Think About It" section. Some may have this as homework. Today was a discussion of "what is alive".
