All research plans for the science fair at Tech are due! That will be the last step in our hard work toward progress! We have worked so hard, and Friday everything will be set to go! The judging will be Saturday morning, and results will be announced Saturday night . Wish us luck!

We finally have all the problems worked out about the Tennessee Tech Science Fair! We are so excited about our work being shown and representing our school. I will give more information later about where to set up and when.
We had two tests today-math and reading,and I know the pressure was on . My students have come a long way, and I know the grades will be good! They are ready to get back to work, and so am I! Study for that spelling test this week!

Another day out for snow.....I actually have students texting me that they are tired of being out! That's a sign that we have been out too long! If we go Friday, we will still have our spelling test and our Island of the Blue Dolphins test. I know we are ready to take those. And I am sure we will still have our Valentine popcorn and movie event in the afternoon. See you then!

We had so much fun today on our field trip,even thoigh we had to cut it a little short because of the weather. I am still working on the SCIENCE FAIR material. It is more complicated than I thought because the forms have to be submitted on line,so the parents are going to have to help with the info!We can work together! Thursday is the big test on Island of the Blue Dolphins. I have given each student the questions and vocabulary to study.Then it will be back to the main reader and Titanic! I can't wait!

It was great coming back to school and all our friends today! We had our spelling test, and tomorrow we have that math test that I have wanted to give for so long. I will finally get to send folders home with grades and the schedule for tests for next week.I will also be sending home materials explaining the rules and guidelines for the Science Fair. Each student is required to enter and will receive two test grades for their entry and presentation. I will be going over all materials and procedures with the students next week, and their choice of project must be in to me by next Friday with allthe appropriate forms filled out and signed....

What a busy day...The social studies test was given today, and my students felt confident that their grades were good. I will grade them tonight , and I will see for myself. I can't wait!I was selected for the Upper Cumberland Writing Project this summer! I feel so honored, and my students gave me a lot of support before my interview! Thank you for that!!!!! I will use their work and enthusiasm for my writing prompts to share with other teachers in surrounding counties. Next Thursday is our field trip. I need those permission slips!!!!! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...........

Well, open house was, in my opinion, a success! Parents asked questions and voiced concerns about many things, and I really enjoyed listening to them. Thanks to all the parents that said such nice things about our teachers and our school! We couldn't do any of it without you!
I am so proud of my students for the wonderful grades on the science test! Kyle, Elizabeth, and Cameron made the highest grades, but the whole class worked hard and did a fantastic job!!!! Way to go!

Just another MANIC MONDAY! It was hard for us to get our brains on task today. Maybe it was the snow spitting outside, or maybe it was just January blues. But we did start on the last chapters of Island of the Blue Dolphins ,and the critics ( our class ) are raving over this wonderful book !Tomorrow the class will get their study guide for the social studies test on ancient Rome. The test is Thursday. If the snow comes and we are out that day, we will take it the day we get back.That also applies to our Friday spelling tests.Don't forget about open house tomorrow night from 5 to 7 !

Well, I know right now all my students are studying for the two tests they have tomorrow! Study hard! Don't forget about the open house next Tuesday night at 5 o'clock.What a great day we had today. We made a picture glossary of the land forms in our book Island of the Blue Dolphins. I was impressed with how great the students did on them! They seemed to have fun,too. Tomorrow is Friday????? What a short week!

If you need to email any questions to us teachers,email to schoolpla@yahoo.com . We are having an open house next Tuesday , January 26,2010,from 5 to 7 o'clock. If you have any concerns or questions about our school , please come and ask questions and voice your concerns! We will have some food to snack on , too. Also, many parents have asked about Valentines Day activities. Mrs. Kirby and I are watching a movie and eating popcorn.Nothing really big-so parents do not need to send or bring anything for a party. Thanks to all of you for asking if you can help because it is always appreciated!We are having a science test Friday along with the regular spelling test..STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!

Permission forms went home today for our field trip to the Science Museum and Planetarium. I hope to get those back by the end of this week. I hope everyone is studying tonight for the language test tomorrow on subject , object ,and possessive pronouns. The study guide has the exact questions on the test. Edward Schlatter and Maggie Knowles already know the information and aced the pretest today!!! I am so proud of you both!!! I sensed a lot of excitement when I talked about the science fair and the space center today! More later.....

Well, we are back to school with a vengeance and a happy heart! I was glad to hear that my students started to get bored with so much time on their hands.That made my job a lot easier! Now that we don't have rehearsals for the Christmas play, we can concentrate on our novel, Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O'Dell. What a great book! We are already reading chapters 10-18 . Later,I will let you know the latest student critique of the book ......

2009-08-25T15:27:00.000-07:00

What a week we have ahead .Thursday we have a language test on subject and verb and the 4 kinds of sentences. Also on Thursday we have a social studies test on the oceans , continents , and glossary words. On Friday we have a reading test and Lesson 2 spelling test . STUDY HARD because I will be reviewing and giving study time at school.

2009-08-23T17:09:00.000-07:00

Well! What a week we have had! I never knew we would have so much fun with pill bugs and protists in pond water! We plan to continue our science lab through the coming week. Also, we had our first spelling test this week with excellent results. Am I the only one who enjoys words and diagramming sentences? I am beginning to think that my class likes to diagram as much as I do! They are getting great at it. I am so proud of them! Until next time...
