- On Thursday, we watched an Electronic Field Trip from Colonial Williamsburg, entitled A More Perfect Union. It was about the creation of the US Constitution. An electronic field trip means that we see the video via WPNE.
- There were three segments each consisting of ten to twelve minutes of the video, followed by live questions asked of the experts. The live questions come from children all over the nation that were watching the show. The man that portrayed Patrick Henry was very convincing!
- On Friday, we started our Bucket Buddies Pond Water Investigation.
- First, the students made a hypothesis: Will pond water macroinvertebrates be the same all over North America?
- Then we looked for macroinvertebrates found in pond water.
- A BIG thanks to the parents that supplied the water. We had some of the most disgusting, smelly water found near New London. But that is exactly what I asked for. The more yucky the water, the better the chance of finding macroinvertebrates.
- We were so busy looking for and FINDING creatures, that I forgot to take pictures! We found about 300 of God's little creatures.
- We'll finish the investigation this coming week.
- The first ever Emanuel Lutheran Speed Stacking Tournament ended with Logan being the 4th grade champ and Taya being the 5th grade champion. Then those two squared-off with Logan becoming the first ever grand champion! Congratulations!

Isaiah 26:4
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.
