December is here!

Remember that next week we are having our family night manditory meeting will be held at Barnes and Noble on December the 10th. Don't forget to do your holiday shopping there to support IA through a special fundraiser we have arranged. In addition to the meeting we will be having performances and artwork displayed from some of our classes. Also that night we will have another fundraiser at Applebee's located in the Hazard center.

In class we are continuing to work on our History projects. We are almost finished with our Historical fiction novel, My Brother Sam is Dead. We are just about to begin filming the Revolutionary war video.

For science we are using paper airplanes to study the scientific method. We are making the planes and researching plane aerodynamics. We are forming our hypothesis as to which type of plane will fly father. Next week we will send the planes off the balcony and record the distance that each one flew and record the results and draw conclusions.

For math we have been working with rounding decimals and multiplying decimals. We are continuing to have daily multiplication drills and just about everyone has got the basic facts down so far.

In language arts we are reviewing capitalization rules, wordly wise, and are working on our rough drafts for our personal narratives. We have also been working on similes and metaphores.
