• Math - We had a test today.
• Science - My class rotated to their new science teacher.  The students told me they weren't given an assignment today.
• Dodgeball - for the battleship reward
• Library - exchange books
• Journal - Red journals are due today
• Spelling - new spelling lists were handed out today.
• Reading - reading comprehension exercise and penmanship exercise, then silent reading.
• English - I handed back the English tests from Unit 2.  It was difficult for a lot of students.  To improve their score for the test students can either 1. retake the test, or 2. correct the problems missed on the test & write a small description of what they missed for each problem missed (for instance, "this word should have been plural not possessive, I didn't need to use an apostrophe") or 3. correct the problems missed on the test & write a summary of what was learned in each lesson of unit 2. Today's English assignment was on action verbs: pg 96-97 (1-26)
• Social Studies - We reviewed important facts from the French and Indian War, then began a study of the Stamp Act.
• P.E.

Thank you for volunteering for colonial days.  I have already received some knives and some flour. Thank you, thank you!
