ELA Test - All Done!!!

Guys - it's Over!  The ELA Test is all done!! Sitting there, watching you guys take the test - I was SO proud  of you!  I know many of you worked very, very hard, and did your ABSOLUTE BEST on the test...and you should be tremendously proud of that!

Anyway, have a terrific weekend, and get ready for the Math Test! (Sorry...)

Remember - Social Studies Project is Due....

Next Thursday, March 28!

Ive been so excited to watch you all working the last few days - Ive seen such tremendous progress made!  I cant wait to see some of the finished projects!  We've got some terrific brochures, some great websites, and a bunch of neat board games!!

But, be sure to keep working on it - both in the allotted classtime and other spots in the day - I was so impressed when I saw most of you working right through inside recess!  What commitment!

Have a great night!

Happy Snow Day!!

I couldn't have said it better myself!! Enjoy the day!!

Genius!

And on this note, good night! Enjoy the genius of Calvin and Hobbes. :)

"Hello Kitty"...in Space???

Ok, ok....if you haven't seen this, you should watch this immediately.  When I saw this over the weekend, I was originally entertained by it....until I read about the story, and realized that the entire project was designed and implemented by a 13-year old SEVENTH grade student!!

Lauren Rojas, a student at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Northern California, had a goal in mind : to send up a high-altitude weather balloon, complete with video cameras, to record the events.  Adding to the experiment was a special passenger - her faithful Hello Kitty doll, one she had since she was very young.

Watch the results below, and keep in mind what determination and hard work can get you!!
