"The Almond Trees are Smiling..." Happy Tu' B' Shevat!

This week begins with a holiday and ends with a long weekend. Hooray! We will complete our study of erosion and take a quick and painless science quiz about erosion. We will complete chapter 9 in math, take the chapter 9 math test, and begin an new, wonderfully challenging math chapter. We will complete the Thomas Edison biography and then watch a movie about Thomas Edison. We will learn about the settlement of the Northwest Territory and discuss current events. We will prepare for a substitute teacher to lead our class on Friday, Feb. 13, Tuesday, Feb.17, and Wednesday, Feb. 18. (I will be in Erie. It is a very big family weekend. My cousin is getting married and my niece is going to be born.) The students are aware that I expect their best and most wonderful behavior (well, always...but) during this time. There will be regular lessons, regular homework, etc. So, here is the plan for this week:
