Off The Grid

I have been off the gird all week.  I know as parents you understand those crazy busy weeks where everything falls at once.  This was one of those weeks.  I am applying my efforts to classroom teaching, managment, and fun.  With that said, blog updates and grading have been on the bottom of the list after basektball, dance, dazzlers, meetings, writing a book, and parenting.  I assure you we are doing fantastic things in our classroom.  Here is a quick list and the kids will cover it better this afternoon when they do their weekly summary.  I have to go grade :)

idioms
metaphores
graphing
using multiplication patterns to extend tables
input output machines (check out this great cyberchase game to practice) (printable input output)(more printable input output)
Midwestern states (start studying for the test at the end of the month)
science materials
