Wednesday

Hey, class!

Math: POW due Friday, math homework (due tomorrow)

Reading: Read but no reflection

Science:  Tomorrow we will finish reading about the digestive system.  You will have time to write your paragraphs and start your illustrations.  This will be due next Tuesday.  Today, we learned about the nervous system... we talked about the brain and also paralysis today... Here is the ABC News video about the young man (who lived in Beaverton, went to all Beaverton schools and then moved on to Oregon State) I promised you.
