Fifty-Eighth Day

One student has completed a PowerPoint presentation and another has begun. It is slow going with computer work because only one computer works adequately to make presentations.

We will take a short test on Topic 9 tomorrow. If the copiers are up and running in the office and if the material warrants, we may attempt to take a full test; we'll wait to see.

We worked briefly with compound words and took some time to illustrate a fold-out book which some students completed and took home.

We had an art lesson today on the element of shape. We distinguished between geometric and organic shapes and created a self-portrait.

Yesterday, we discussed the Sun and it's influence on weather. We discussed the transformation of matter and the sun's role in the water cycle. We discussed the removal and addition of heat to transform matter into its various states. This will be a tested concept.
