Yesterday the kids finished presenting their notes to the class and had a trivia question. I'm going to compile the notes and get them to you in some format. Maybe a online note or something. Today the kids had a JOURNAL ENTRY: If you were to receive a small box delivered to you at this time, who would you like it to be from and what would it contain? We had a spelling quiz, and they read a short article from Current Health on Arthritis and summarized it in their summary logs in their composition books. They were assigned an online quiz for Chapter 4 which will take the place of the Chapter review for this unit and it is due to me tomorrow. Grades are current and posted.
