Thanks to all of you who came to last night's Parent Night. It takes parents and the school working together to help ensure a successful learning experience for students.

Tonight the students are to read pp. 31-36 in their social studies book. They are going to have a short quiz tomorrow over the reading. We watched a short United Streaming video today that illustrated the theory of plate tectonics. I think seeing it will help students understand the reading just a little better. Tomorrow we will be discussing this information in more detail in order to understand how landforms on the earth are formed.

The websites below offer some interesting information:
