Welcome Back

I 'd like to welcome everyone back. I hope everyone had a nice vacation...We got right back to work this week and began reading the novel "Matilda" by Rolad Dahl. Matilda is about a precocious, brilliant young girl who is very different from her TV watching parents.
Matilda ( at only 4 years old ) has finished reading ALL the children books at the local library and knows all her multiplication tables. The trouble with Matilda however, is that her parents don't like her. Matilda has learned that she can not reason with her parents and has decided to play tricks on them to teach them a lesson for treating her so badly.
In science class we learned about the different forces at work on earth and how these forces work to create and destroy through erosion and weathering, as well as the movement of the earths fault lines that cause earthquakes.
