MAP and Pictures from Filter of Hope

Our class will be participating in the MAP Reading and Math tests this week. Tuesday morning, we will take the Reading portion. Thursday morning, we will take the Math portion. I encourage all students to get enough sleep and eat a healthy breakfast to prepare for the test. We worked diligently this morning on the types of questions the test would ask and how to approach answering those questions. We will be spending the next three days reviewing material that we have covered at the beginning of the year in math, just to jog our memory.

There will not be homework until next week, except a reading log without responses. This is due Monday.


Here are some pictures of the water filters our class purchased being distributed in a small African country called Burkina Faso. Our contact at Filter of Hope told me that in this village, 35% of all children die before they turn 5 because of the parasites and bacteria that is in their water. The picture of the small pond is this village's only water source. Please pass these pictures along to those that donated, so they know their donations saved lives of children in these pictures.
