assignments for 3/6/09 and our day's recap

Good Evening!

Show and Tell on Friday! We had a good day. Many thanks to Mrs. Tronda for assisting us. Great discussion in Bible. In Latin time we reviewed the constellations before moving on to the lesson. We finished off the Chapter on inventions in History by reading a book about Robert Fulton. We tried making a steam paddle and have it spin using the power of steam coming from a tea kettle. We were less than successful, I'm sorry to say. We played Interchangeable Parts Bingo and got an idea of how many things around us are made using interchangeable parts. We finished adjectives in grammar and will move on to adverbs Friday. In Science we conducted an experiment that actually worked. We noticed the green house affect that keeps Venus so hot. A thermometer in a closed glass jar sat next to a t-meter just out in the air. The one in the jar was 18 degrees hotter ten minutes later. We looked at some poetry today and learned some things about its construction.

Whew! Pizza party on Friday because our pebble cup is full! Enjoy learning together and I will see you Friday!

love,
Mrs. Tkach
