Dear Parents,

I am sure many of you, like me, want to help to aid the relief of Haiti, but may not be sure how, or what to do. The site below will take you to the red cross site. There are many suggestions for what we can do. You can even text $10.00 right from your phone. The slightest gesture makes a big difference, and prayer makes all the difference.

The Earth's Changing Surface

Next in Science we will be studying the surface of the Earth, and the rock cycle. We will cover the material in chapters 6 and 7 in our book, but we will also be, as usual, going out of the book. Make sure to check the blog for games, and activities, as well as Bill Nye for the rock cycle and the changing surface.
