This Week: I have to admit, it was very difficult to get back into a classroom after taking our learning to the road! Fortunately we were able to come back to the long awaited hovercraft activity!  This week was spent painting and beginning assembly of the hovercrafts.  We will be ready to race them next week.

 We also finished up our math units for both Algebra A and Algebra B.  We will be having an open note final semester test on Wednesday May 5.  This test will help me to place students into an appropriate math course next year in high school.

Next week we will also be prepping for our final POLs.  Students will be presenting artifacts that support habits of mind for Humanities, Math/Science and The Northern California Trip.  We will present to the students and post the POL requirements on Monday.
