Fiday, February 1

Clean up day! Yes, I do mean your room but I also mean the stuff we were supposed t do yesterday that didn't get done.

Let's see:

- Spelling. Quick, what were the three patterns we covered this week?
- Grammar. Time to write something of your choice as long as it contains 4 proper nouns.
- Greek.
- Decimals, pages 19-20 at least. More if you'd like.
- Geography. Remember the pages that we forgot to do yesterday? Do them today!
- I-Science. We're going to look at your textbook and read about the earth and go from there. Maybe look at Brainpop, maybe see what books we have that would be helpful and certainly take a look at the first activity in your workbook. I think it relates to something you already understand but we can still do it if you'd like!

Last night we watched the Nature of Things episode on sight and you were interested in the software that let a blind woman see by sound. I found a link to the site where we can download the software and see if we can learn to use it a bit. Also, to see if we can translate a different sense into something like sight let's take that wooden shape game we have, close our eyes and see if we can build an image in our minds of what each shape is. No peeking!

Psst! Notice anything about the bolded words in the last paragraph?

On to the silliness:

What do you call a pig who knows karate?


A Pork-Chop!

What looks exactly like a hippo but weighs nothing?


Its shadow!
