Spiritual Emphasis Week

This week while we were sitting in Earth and Space Science class, we saw a dust devil. It was about 15-30 meters tall is what our science teacher said. She told us about when she stepped into one, she came out covered in dust and was filthy. The heat this week was in the mid 30's C and when we walked outside yesterday to test out our homemade telescopes the heat took the breath out of me, thank goodness for wind. Our teacher has been talking about how the weather has affected us this month. We have had less than 2.5 centimeters of rain. It is really dry and everyone has been praying for rain. I know I sure have. It has been so hot this week. We thought that we saw rain clouds in the sky this evening but it hasnt rained yet, we are praying it does. Before we go into a drought.

Weather

Hey, this is William and Maleek. So far the temperature has been cooling down. There has been rain for the past two days. One day we had a big thunder storm. The next day we had light showers. Tomorrow is 9/11/10 with 12% chance of rain due to tropical storm, Hermes. Fall is on the way, which means colorful leaves and high winds. That's all for today. This is weather from William and Maleek.

Hey! This is Madison and Rainey.(: We were just dropping in to talk about some of the weather here. First of all, it's been pretty cool down in Arkansas. We have had really nice weather. Second, we have been having a lot of fun in science talking about the weather and how everything affects the earth. Third, we have been talking about the weather in the cave. Its going to be so fun!
Well, we heard about hurricane Earl. We learned that Earl is not going to be heading to the gulf, but it is going up the East Coast. We hope all goes well and nobody gets hurt. With this hurricane, hopefully all the oil will be washed away.!
Well, until next time, have a good day! Goodbye!!

Field trip

This is Gabe Harris and Jada Anderson. Next Friday we are going on a field trip to a cave in northern Arkansas.The cave is going to be 14.4 degrees Celsius!! We will be walking over 700 steps. We are probably going to be tired when we get done.We're going to eat chicken strips,hamburgers,cheese,ham,and turkey sandwiches for lunch.

This cave is called Blanchard Springs Caverns and is a limestone cave. We have a huge limestone deposit in Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri, our neighbor state.

Welcome to a new school year!

Welcome to a new school year!
This is teacher Diedre Young and we will be starting up the blog this week and hope our German friends can post on their blog too!

It has been very hot here! 105 F (40.5 C) and with the heat index, as high as 115 F (46.1 C)! We have had heat advisories almost every day!

Right now, the National Weather Service is tracking Hurricane Danielle that will mostly likely hit the North and South Carolina coasts. It is currently a Category 2 Hurricane with winds at 100 mph (116 Km per hour)

We get hurricanes this time of year due to the storms that come off of Africa and then drift and grow towards the USA and South America.

We also start to get more tornadoes this time of year due to the cooler weather coming from the north hitting the warm humid weather off the Gulf of Mexico.

Next time we blog we will talk about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and how it has affected our region.

Jensen and Hailey speaking here: Well, our school year is almost over and everybody is so happy. It was a fun school year and a crazy one too. For some people the year went so fast (like us) but for others it went by very, very slow. Either way, we all got through it and we can all say that we did a job well done :-). As of today, we only have 7 and a half days left. Next Monday and Tuesday we will be taking finals and nobody is happy about it, at all. After that the year will be pretty much be over. We really wont be doing anything else on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
