Vocabulary Quiz on Tuesday.  Students need to know the definition of the following words as well as be able to write a sentence that demonstrates context. For example, if writing a sentence with "flank":

is much better than: "I went to the horse's flank."

I am still looking for Christmas lights. I am re-posting this again this week:

As you will soon start decorating your house for Christmas, I would kindly ask that you think of us before throwing out any sets of Christmas lights that you no longer need.  I am already planning our electricity unit that we will start this spring and am in need of small Christmas lights to be used in our electricity project. If you have any old but working sets of small Christmas lights you would be able to donate, please send them to school with your child at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance for your help. Here is a photo to show the type of lights we are looking for.

Thank you very much!
