Today's background is brought to you courtesy of Jimi.  As much as it pains me, this is what he chose.  Somewhere in life something went terribly wrong that a child could grow up liking the Lakers :(

Homework


Sorry for the delay in getting our homework up.  The math link is now up to date and the writing homework will be.
Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters Homework #11
Due Friday, April 20, 2012

For homework this week, come up with an artistic representation that demonstrates something you know about earthquakes and/or tsunamis.  This is fairly open-ended so be creative and informative as possible.  Some ideas that the class came up with:
Ø    A model of the Earth and its layers.
Ø    A model showing different ways tectonic plates can move.
Ø    A song or poem with earthquake/tsunami facts.
Ø    A focused skit/puppet show that is relevant and on topic.
Ø    A diorama.
Ø    A mobile.

Have a great weekend!

New Homework

Our new homework is up and ready for download.  We have gone a little lighter as we are getting ready  for state testing.  We will keep things fairly light for the next few weeks.  I would like to add that in preparation for testing, please make sure your child is getting to bed at  a good time each night and getting plenty of sleep.  A good breakfast is a must every morning also.  And don't forget, it is a scientific fact that fish is a good brain food and supports healthy brain activity :)

This weeks background is thanks to Badru.  I'm not sure why he would want the Bobcats, but hey, he won the drawing so we've got Bobcats :)

Big News

     Welcome back from spring break, I hope everyone had a fantastic time.  I spent my spring break over in the Tri-Cities, Washington.  I was visiting some family, but more importantly, I was visiting elementary schools.  I have let my class know, my family and I have decided to move this summer.  We have had enough of the rain and weather here so we are off to a drier climate.  I met with some incredibly wonderful principals and I am really optimistic of finding a teaching position before I leave Sexton Mountain at the end of the school year.  I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of my kids and families.  You have made me feel very welcome and made this school a home :)
     I am still  looking for answers to our trivia questions, so make sure you are talking to our staff and see what you can learn. (see previous post for questions).  I'll add a new internet question for ya.

When and where was the most deadly earthquake in history?
