My reading class is quickly approaching the end of its study of The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton.  We have come to the climax of the book and will resolve many issues in the next couple of weeks.

Waves, Light, and Sound will be the topics until the end of the year.  Because the ideas tend to be a bit more abstract than our previous topics, most of the reading will be done together in class.  Therefore, books will not be checked out to individual student.  If you require a book at home, please let me know.

The Ancient American Civilizations is the focus of my Social Studies class.  The class has learned about the geography of Central and South America, and we have moved on to the history.  We will study the location, agriculture, architecture and advancements of the Olmecs, Mayas, Aztecs and Incas.
