Due to the spreading illness pervading Woodbrook, we are not going to have the Student Council elections tomorrow. Speaking of the sickness, the flu, the bug, or whatever you want to call it, I know that tomorrow is the fall party. But please, if your child is sick, assure them that we will have a fun time soon and to stay at home. A party where everyone is getting sick is no fun at all.
Also, no Caesar's English this week. Not because of the illness, just because we didn't have enough time to squeeze in one more thing. We've been really busy playing catch-up from the past couple weeks. Tomorrow we are going to have the Theme Test for chapter 6 (at last), but if your child has been absent, no big deal. They can take it next week if they want.
We've been reading Roanoke by Lee Miller lately. I love this book so much. It's also really good about letting the kids synthesize their own answer to the historical question of what happened on that island. I highly recommend this book to even adults; it's that good.
Another highlight from today were that the kids were given their jobs for Biztown. I've told the kids many times over the last few days that, much like with life, you normally don't end up doing what you thought you would do. But somehow it turns out just right. I told them that everyone's job ends up being a lot of fun at Biztown. Otherwise, no one would ever take their classes there. The kids have learned quite a bit already. Today we learned to fill out deposit slips and put them on a bank register.
We also took the opportunity to clean out the kids' desks. Some needed it far more than others.
